Tulsa NWS

Here in Greenwood we got some pretty bad storms this morning, And I was really surprised that the National Weather Service out of Tulsa was communicating with Seb,Crawford,and Franklin county EOC's on AWIN on ADAM NW5 I didn't think that AWIN would have coverage all the way in Tulsa that just really threw me off when i heard them talking to Tulsa

N. Little Rock NWS - LZK was the first office and they're the most active. I know NWS is has been trying to get all 5 offices serving Arkansas on the system. TSA is the 2nd one, I'm sure MEG, JAN, and SHV will be online soon, if not already.

it just shocked me that tulsa weather in oklahoma was able to use the system, i bet there isnt a AWIN tower within a hour or hour an half from them

At the speed radio waves move - are you sure the towers are that far away? That'd put them out near the orbit of Pluto I think

If you mean the closest tower is 100 miles away - then I'd place odds on them using something else.

Sounds as if they have a tie line or some other source other than RF to get to that tower.
