Has anyone used a radio to obtain weather reports from the washington KMWN station? We stayed at RMC's Gray Knob cabin last winter and they were able to pick up the weather statistics for washington (and forecasts) in the morning by radio.
I was wondering if radios such as motorola's T450R or Garmin's Rino series would pick this type of radio frequency up. Is KMWN FRS or GMRS or something different?
www.mountwashington.org links to a NOAA page for hourly weather reports that lists:
"(KMWN) 44-16N 071-18W 1910M" at the top of their page
and
"ob KMWN 240251Z 30030KT 0SM FZFG VV000 M04/M04 RMK SGE00 VRY LGT ICG" further down for washington.
Are these the different frequencies that KMWN transmits on??? And is this a transmission directly from Mount Washington, or NOAA or both?
The $80 dollar FCC fee doesnt bother me, I already have an FCC account and feel that more and more I am venturing into winter scenarios where a two-way radio with solid communications and weather reporting ability may be worthwhile to have.
Thanks,
Justin
