listening to the weather band
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has
allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agencies in
other countries have also allocated channels for use by their
weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broadcast
your local forecast and regional weather information on one
or more of these channels.
