Weather Band Opening?

[Shortwavewave]

Has anyone else been able to pick up 162.55, 162.45 I think these were from Lawton, and chickasha, and 162.475(dont know from where) For a breif minute.

Im in MWC and just happened to be in the mood to see what was going on.

Unless Norman Broadcast all the freqs, I though it was just 162.40

I've been getting skip all week on VHF... been listening to Latimer Co SO on 155.490 among other things (in Osage/Tulsa Co).

Skip

Yeah I picked up Harper County (either SO or EM) announcing some weather stuff yesterday on .490 yesterday on my truck's mobile while driving around Edmond yesterday.

I remember when I was growing up in Stroud, listening to Sherman, TX PD on 155.010 when the weather was good.

I pick up some north Texas county fd's on 154.325 (Yukon Fire) now when the weather is right.

Norman NWS does do the programming for numerous weather radio stations on various frequencies across the state. However, also keep in mind the robotic voice sounds very similiar no matter where you go.

There were some excellent openings this past week, and one or two days they went clear up to UHF. A couple of Bethany officers kept hearing another PD on their frequency (460.450), and when I turned off the PL squelch I could hear them while mobile, with a strong, clear signal.

I never did ID who the other department was, I didn't have a lot of time to listen. I vaguely remember there being a department up near Tulsa on that frequency, but that was many years ago...

And I never did get on the radios at home to see what I could do... Of course, I usually noticed the openings when I was at work...
