New NOAA Weather Radio Service for Extreme Southeast Oklahoma
This new NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is located
north of Broken Bow, OK. This radio will primarily serve
McCurtain and surrounding counties. It will broadcast on
a frequency of 162.450 MHz with the call sign of WXJ-65.
Reception of the broadcasts requires a receiver capable
of receiving FM signals in the 162 to 163 MHz range. Most
stores which sell radios or consumer electronic equipment,
carry NWR receivers. A feature of the NWR is a warning alarm
system which will let listeners know when severe weather
Watches and Warnings are issued for their area.
NOAA Weather Radio receivers are generally of two types
- one in which the receiver's warning alarm sounds for all
watches and warnings issued for McCurtain and surrounding
counties and a more sophisticated model in which the user
can specifically program which counties they wish to be
alerted for. |
