[Scan-DC] NOAA weather frequencies.

===>NOAA weather transmitters used to be marked on Pennsylvania highway  maps.
Did Maryland maps show them too? I know Virginia maps did not have  them.
Aren't there some weather frequencies that are not used near  Canada?

The National Weather Service has done a great job of putting NOAA weather  
radio RF coverage maps on the web:

Also, Industry Canada uses the same 7 US weather radio channels in addition  
to the same EAS/SAME alerts:

>From its inception in 1977, the network has expanded to 183 sites across the  
country, transmitting continuous weather information on 7 dedicated 
frequencies  on the VHF public service band. Now, fully 92% of Canadians can access a  
Weatheradio signal, and recent technological advances have made it possible 
for  listeners to program radio receivers to deliver only certain types of 
warnings  for their specific locations.
The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) operates the Weatheradio Canada  
network. The majority of these stations broadcast on the VHF band to permit the 
 transmission of a 1050 Hz warning tone and SAME codes that will trigger a  
Weatheradio receiver's internal alert system. These are broadcast ahead of a  
warning message to activate Weatheradios upon receipt. Broadcast frequencies  
include 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525, and 162.550  MHz.
