...PERMANENT FREQUENCY CHANGE OF NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER IN
GROVE OKLAHOMA BEGINNING OCTOBER 15TH...

IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICE TO NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...FAR
NORTHWESTERN ARKANSAS...AND SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI...THE FREQUENCY
OF NOAA WEATHER RADIO STATION WWH38 LOCATED IN GROVE OKLAHOMA
WILL BE PERMANENTLY CHANGED ON MONDAY OCTOBER 15TH. ON THAT
DATE...THE BROADCAST FREQUENCY FOR DELAWARE...OTTAWA...CRAIG...
MAYES...WESTERN BENTON...MCDONALD...AND NEWTON COUNTIES WILL BE
CHANGED FROM 162.500 MHZ TO 162.525 MHZ.

THIS CHANGE IS BEING MADE TO ALLEVIATE FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE THAT
HAS BEEN OCCURRING BETWEEN THE GROVE NOAA WEATHER RADIO TRANSMITTER
AND NEARBY SITES IN CASSVILLE MISSOURI AND HARRISON ARKANSAS. A
TEST OF THIS FREQUENCY CHANGE CONDUCTED ON JULY 9TH CONFIRMED
THAT THE FREQUENCY SWITCH DID INDEED ALLEVIATE THE FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE OF THESE SITES.

TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE LIFE-SAVING BROADCAST WEATHER INFORMATION
FOR DELAWARE...OTTAWA...CRAIG...MAYES...WESTERN BENTON...MCDONALD...
AND NEWTON COUNTIES...LISTENERS OF THE GROVE NOAA WEATHER RADIO
STATION MUST CHANGE FREQUENCIES ON THEIR RECEIVERS BEGINNING
OCTOBER 15TH. FOR MANY LISTENERS...THIS WILL SIMPLY REQUIRE

SETTING SIX.
