NOAA Radio should start after a few moments...
NOAA Radio
Update: I believe the problem with the radio signal cutting out has been solved with the new transmitter (see below). The radio broadcast should be much more reliable now.
NWR broadcasts NWS warnings, watches, forecasts and other non-weather related hazard information 24 hours a day. During an emergency, NWS forecasters interrupt routine broadcasts and send a special tone activating local weather radios. Weather radios with a special alarm tone feature are equipped to sound an alert to give immediate information about life-threatening weather.
Radios with S.A.M.E. receive the same alerts and warnings as the NOAA radios, but allow users to adjust reception for specific counties. This keeps false alarms to a minimum.
Our Station: NOAA Weather Station KYJ-85, serving Charlotte and surrounding areas - 162.525 MHz - 1000 watts of power broadcasting from a tower on Rhinehart Road in Mooresville, Iredell County, NC. This is a new transmitter from NOAA installed to increase the available signal in our area (placed 890 feet high) and came online in February, 2008.
