This figure shows the coverage of NOAA Weather Radio as of late 1981.
The system is designed 50 that six different messages are transmitted
in each of the areas, A through F: The irregular outlines indicating cover-
ages of Areas A through D are relatively accurate since the effects of
topography surrounding the transmitting stations have been taken into
account. The coverages in Areas E and F are approximate. In Area A the
same message will be transmitted at the same time on the same fre-
quency ("simulcasting") from Point of Rocks and Reiradon Hill. This is also
true for transmissions from Mead and Denver in Area B.
