Weather Radio Update!
Since the last update, @NWS has upgraded 33 more sites to wireless, saving $118k/mo in copper contracts. See below transmission from Conway Summit, CA.
The team has ramped up production of the wireless kits from 9 to 50/wk. ~340 sites to go!
The National Weather Service @NWS is collaborating with DOGE to modernize its nationwide Weather Radio system. Of their 1033 transmitter sites, ~380 still rely on copper lines from the 1960s.
These lines are expensive ($17M/yr) and faulty. For example, Los Angeles’ T1 line goes down twice each year for 2-14 days. Last week, the team flew out to upgrade from copper to wireless.
