[Scan-DC] Weather Radio Question

Wed, 15 May 2002 01:08:26 -0400

Considering the relatively dry-ish weather lately and
the incredibly high winds, the noise floor from power line
noise has been very high. Since you heard it under these
conditions I would say it is likely that you will hear
it at least this well in the future.

That's the new one serving the upper Bay and Eastern Shore.

Did you happen to notice that the synthesized voice didn't
sound like a crappy A.C.C. repeater controller? I'm glad
they are finally beta-testing a voice that is listenable.
