The Hudson County NJ TIS station is back on 1710 AM, stuck in repeat mode again with a make voice saying endless W's.
"The FCC approved the County’s temporary request to broadcast on the AM station at 100 watts for the duration of the pandemic declared emergency."
How do we petition the FCC to revoke their temp authorization, with evidence that they are not properly running the station. I'm serious. Let's do this.

Does that mean forever ?

I've seen reports from well before the pandemic where this station was stuck or operating incorrectly over a long period of time, and heard it myself by SDR as well. Didn't the FCC know about this to judge them unfit for operation, like commercial stations would be?
On the other side, I notice that most of the these alert stations are running test loops, telephone tones and IDs that repeat endlessly, hum on carrier and other problems for years in some cases, why bother?

Record it. Preferably with video showing the frequency, date, and time. Now send the recording to the county commissioners or whatever type of local government is present, including a description of the issue and a tag line along the lines of "This is what your taxpayer dollars are supporting."
If that does not work or receives no reply, then email it to the local newspaper(s), TV news stations, etc.; with a common carry to the government addresses you tried, too. ;)

Now that's an excellent idea, RobRich!
