[Scan-DC] New VA Weather stations to DX!

[Doug K.]

Going back a couple of months here... a friend and I were just talking about 
this... believe the call sign is WNZ-736.  In fact, I could swear that I 
actually found something about this new station on the NOAA website, but 
dang'f I could find it just now... does anyone know where the transmitter 
is?

Also, interesting factoid... as near as my buddy and I can tell, the NOAA 
weather station callsigns are not listed in the FCC database!!  Anyone have 
any insight into that?  (WWV isn't listed either as I recall...)

Squad 51, KMG-365 (I've been watching my _Emergency!_ DVDs...)

Not related, hear a couple of police cars Code 3... going in the other room 
to turn on the 800 scanner...
