The following is an eight part bulletin flooded on the packet network
by KA9YLV@KA9YLV.IN.USA.NA and is presented here.

NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS A SERVICE...
...of the National Oceanic and Atmosperic administration (NOAA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce. As the "Voice of the National Weather Service," it
provides continuous broadcasts of the latest weather information directly
from National Weather Service offices. Taped weather messages are repeated
every four to six minutes and are routinely revised every one to three
hours, or more frequently if needed. Most of the stations operate 24 hours
daily.
During severe weather, National Weather Service forecasters can
interrupt the routine weather broadcasts and substitute special warning
messages. The forecasters can also activate specially designed warning
receivers. Such receivers either sound an alarm indicating that an
emergency exists, alerting the listener to turn the receiver up to an
audible volume; or, when operated in a muted mode, are automatically turned
on so that the warning message is heard. "Warning alarm" receivers are
especially valuable for schools, hospitals, public-safety agencies, and
news media offices.
Under a January 1975 White House policy statement, NOAA Weather Radio
was designated the sole Government-operated radio system to provide direct
warnings into private homes for natural disasters and nuclear attack. This
capability is to supplement warnings by sirens and by commercial radio and
TV.
The Broadcasts are tailored to weather information needs of people
of people within the receiving area. For example, stations along the
seacoasts and Great Lakes provide weather information for boaters, fishers,
and others engaged in marine activities as well as general weather
information.
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts are made on one of seven high-band FM
frequencies ranging from 162.40 to 162.55 megahertz (MHz). These
frequencies are not found on the average home radio now in use. However,
a number of radio manufactures offer special weather radios to operate on
these frequencies, with or without the emergency warning alarm. Also there
are now many radios on the market which offer the standard AM/FM
frequencies plus the so called "weather band" as an added feature.
The National Weather Service operates about 380 stations. Approximately
90 percent of the Nation's population is within listening range of a NOAA
Weather Radio broadcast.
A similar network of about 15 stations using the same frequencies
broadcasts continuous weather information across much of southern Canada.

Notes:
(*) Station funded by private interest group
(R) Low power experimental repeater - serving limited local area
(P) Operate less than 24 hours/day - hours are extended when
possible during severe weather
Occasionally the frequency of an existing or planned station must be
changed because of unexpected radio frequency interference with adjacent
NOAA Weather Radio stations and/or with other services in the area.
