PACKET ^H^H^H^H^H^H WEATHER VIOLENCE
« on: December 09, 2013, 2221 UTC »
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1110 AM EDT FRI SEP 06 2013

...NOAA WEATHER RADIO NEW YORK CITY REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE...

THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER THAT SERVES THE NEW YORK CITY
METROPOLITAN AREA HAS BEEN CAUSING RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE ON
THE U.S. COAST GUARD CHANNEL 16 TRANSMITTER FOR INTERNATIONAL
DISTRESS...SAFETY AND CALLING SINCE LATE JULY.

THE NEW YORK CITY TRANSMITTER BROADCASTS ON A FREQUENCY OF 162.550
MHZ AND THE U.S.COAST GUARD TRANSMITTER BROADCASTS ON A FREQUENCY OF
156.800 MHZ. OTHER TRANSMITTERS...IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE NYC
TRANSMITTER BROADCAST ON A FREQUENCY OF 168.3 MHZ.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS WORKING WITH SEVERAL U.S. GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES TO ISOLATE AND RESOLVE THIS TECHNICAL PROBLEM. WE HAVE
INSTALLED A FILTER ON THE NYC TRANSMITTER...WHICH REDUCED...BUT DID
NOT ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. WE WORKED WITH ANOTHER FEDERAL AGENCY
AND OVERSAW THE INSTALLATION OF ANOTHER FILTER...ON A TRANSMITTER
BROADCASTING OVER 168.3 MHZ...WHICH DID NOT FURTHER REDUCE THE RADIO
FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE U.S. COAST GUARD TO RESOLVE THIS
PROBLEM AND APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTERRUPTION OF OUR ROUTINE WEATHER
BROADCASTS.

...NOAA WEATHER RADIO WILL BE PLACED IN OPERATION TO BROADCAST SHORT
FUSE LIFE THREATENING WEATHER WATCHES AND WARNINGS...

There were always rumors those NOAA transmitters were a mean bunch.

OK, that must be a design flaw or a lemon run in transmitters.

Weather Radio Canada upgraded this summer (TX unknown) and spewed out spurs (some stronger than their original assigned frequency), but I thought it was my SDR. My landlord who uses a "real" scanner noticed the same thing too.

I guess they didn't get the notice about buying crappy Chinese transmitters on Ebay.
