Re: [IRCA] [DX-tip] FCC Notice regarding TIS expansion & public comment
National Association of Government Communicators p.1 says "stay tuned to television and radio broadcasts for important updates: If your facility (bomb shelter?gs) has a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, this is a good source of information." I've been wondering why so many NOAA weather stations with coverage overlaps were built. Guess they could tell which way the wind was blowing the fallout, which they say could travel 400 miles. They don't seem to give any info as to how close to a detonation a transmitter or receiver might survive, or a person, either. Hope it never happens. 73, George S., MN --- On Sat, 1/1/11, kevin redding wrote: From: kevin redding Subject: Re: [IRCA] [DX-tip] FCC Notice regarding TIS expansion & public comment To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" Date: Saturday, January 1, 2011, 7:51 PM On Jan 1, 2011, at 6:56 PM, George Sherman wrote: > Maybe the new TIS stations would broadcast the evacuation routes in the event > of a nuclear detonation.

Thanks Curtis! 73, George S., MN With the massive EMP wave sent out from a nuclear detonation, this leaves me to ask two questions, George: 1. Do you expect a transmitter that has been exposed to many Giga Electron Volts to survive that and keep transmitting? 2. Do you expect a common household receiver to withstand equal punishment from nuclear weapon EMP? I am sure that propagation would be a mess for a while, that the transmitters and receivers cooked and we would be worried about a lot more than the radio being off the air.
