NOAA Weather Radio

Anybody in the Central Louisiana area have problems connecting to NOAA weather radio. The Jena tower (162.475) in particular.

Can you get other towers like from bude Ms or natchitoches or monroe?

You might want to ask here -- NOAA Weather Radio - Viewing Outages -- and look for alternative station coverage using this -- NOAA Weather Radio - Louisiana -- state map. HTH.

Yeah but it takes a few days to update that site, now it all depends on where he is at and if he is in Shreveport or Jackson or lake Charles wfo, they will have more up to date info

Thanks for the information, I checked the outages site, there are no Louisiana sites that are showing to be out of service. Natchitoches would be the closest site, but being in eastern Grant Parish, I'm just out of range of it. I guess I'll just wait until the Alexandria (Jena) site is back online. Its been out for several weeks now.

I would check with another scanner or receiver in case it may be the receiver, then if it is out and not an receiver, notify new lake Charles about it

That Outage Page sucks---there has not been any updates on there in quite some time---You Best bet is to Call your Local National Weather Service Office for more information

They closed most of the local weather "bureaus" several years ago. I live in a town of almost 200K and the nearest Weather Service Office is 90 miles away and then only because it serves Atlanta and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. it's the only weather office in Georgia.

Thanks, if I get time tomorrow I'll check it with my SDR.

Checked it today, the Alexandria (Jena) site is back online, not sure what the problem was.
