Subject: [AMRadio] NNNN


Fellows,

Where does the text "NNNN" originate (radio history) in text messages
below the "signature" line? I see NNNN used sometimes, depending on the
particular NWS forecaster, with the National Weather Service text
messages about active tropical storms/hurricanes (which I might add,
seem to be frequenting my area lately HI).  Also there is sometimes the
"$$" being used along with the "NNNN"

Just wondering.

Regards,
