the cases of owners that rebroadcast NOAA weather radio?
Seems to me the FCC is everywhere and nowhere. If I weren't

FCC, humph. What a joke

Charles,
It may be that someone complained about QRM from a TIS/HAR and the
message got from an NAB member to the FCC. The NAB is famous for
lighting a fire under the FCC and getting them to act on things
including pirates. As one FCC offical told me quite a few years back in
Portland that they

That could very well be the case. NOAA is a federal agency, so its
stations would fall outside FCC jurisdiction. I know I've heard IDs
from the one in Seattle, but I don't recall if I've heard any recently.

NOAA radio stations do ID. The one in Astoria is KEC91. Many of the HAR
stations along the Oregon coast seem to run non-stop NOAA broadcasts.
They do ID, but you hear the NOAA station ID more often. Is the FCC
saying that the NOAA broadcasts are illegal, being run on TIS stations?
If so, there are
I was curious because the owner of ABDX (another DX list for those who don't
know already) asked me what WX stations I could hear from this location. The
San Francisco area one on 162.4 was strong but did not ID (including TOH) and
the Monterey one on 162.55 also did not ID. The 162.475

One of the BEST run TIS's Ive ever heard is WPII600, at 1570Khz in
Glastonbury, Connecticut.
The audio is not fed down or recorded on a phone line, it comes from a
computer hard drive in a computer thats inside a small mini studio with a
professional mixer and microphone
They are only 10 Watts,
All federal government stations are assigned call signs or ID's -- that are
required to be used. Even the local FBI uses it's call signs. The FCC
offices -- have call signs -- but use a Station ID in place of a call sign.
Almost every NOAA station that I have heard --- at some time
Mike,
The Astoria TIS on 1650 is located up on a telephone pole with the whip
going up from the tx box. It is off the ground far enough and right on
the highway going into Astoria that stealing it would be very hard to
do. Their ground system goes right into Youngs Bay so they get out very
well.
Concentrating on this stuff as opposed to any problems with any
substance is another absurd illustration of the political sacking of
the FCC's more traditional activities. These are essentially victimless
offenses, hurting nobody that they're wasting tax dollars on.
Better they should

The VHF NOAA station here in Astoria IDs all of the time as NOAA Radio
KEC91 in Astoria Oregon So when an AM tis/HAR relays them, you get the
NOAA radio IDs much more often than the TIS ID. At least around here. If
you can hear the TIS long enough, like a local one, they do ID too. NOAA
just IDs

They have been running that same profound programming on KNEC996 which moves

was living in that area, and I never heard anything but the loop. I'm not

I've heard similar stuff in Seattle and elsewhere around the northwest -
TIS transmitters running nonstop NOAA weather, continuous loop IDs, and
other things that don't fit the letter of the law. A few years ago, the

Bruce,
Are NOAA stations exempt from ID's? I was listening to 162.4 and 162.55 MHz
the other day. I know the 162.55 is local to me, but no idea on the other and
no ID on either.
