We all love storms when we hear the “WEWOWEWOWEWO- (1050HZ tone) The national weather service in”

Do you mean a V5?

@SouthernWXMedia yea, all versions can get it tho 🫤

@@WCSOTX Wow, I thought it was just those from 2006-2009.

@SouthernWXMedia I've heard of V2 tuners going out... my V6/ New V5 already died, and my V3 and V5 are the next victims of Midland's crappy parts...

@@WCSOTX Wow, that's really unfortunate. Was your newer V5 from 2010?

Possibly. In that case, this would’ve been about the 3rd (or higher) time I’ve observed that.

Yeah, it was. I’m glad it didn’t turn out to be bad for me, at least.

@@SouthernWXMedia I can tell!

Thanks.

Wow. Well, stuff like this happens all the time on KEC80, so maybe you can get it sometime. Cool that you’re local, though.

@@SouthernWXMedia Yeah. I’m in gwinnett. I usually get stuff from cleveland and atlanta. WXJ53 and KEC80.

Same for me. That’s really cool!

@@SouthernWXMediaWow! Its nice meeting someone who monitors weather in the same area! Nice meeting you!

Yeah, thanks for commenting! Do you plan on posting any videos of your radios? (Also, a few minutes before I typed this, WXJ53 randomly played 1050Hz and then started saying it was off the air, but it almost immediately went back to the current conditions.)

Kid mode?

@@SouthernWXMedia I kinda want it call acting up like “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP” *1050HZ tone for 1 second* *1000HZ tone* and others so I call it kid mode

Ok.

@@SouthernWXMedia how are you reading notification like every minute lol

LOL, desktop TH-cam gives you notifications whenever you’re online. And I get emails for them if I’m not on the computer.

Understatement of the decade!

@@SouthernWXMedia 💀

Who knows, at this point! I wouldn't be surprised if it's haunted or something. If so, the ghost sure picked a good time of year to finally do something different.

Thank you! Yeah, I honestly never expected to find multiple of my dream radios in one year, but that's the wonderful thing about thrift stores.

@@SouthernWXMedia yeah. super cool! anyway your welcome

@@heehejehehsmy dream radio is the REEcom 1630

@@HunterleeWarren0425 same! “Get ready, mr REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEcom.”

Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s a pretty neat one for sure.

Thank you! I didn’t know you had one; cool, though sorry to hear about the backlight. At least it has multiple diodes.

Not yet. But I would care regardless of the location; someone’s life may be in danger.

@@SouthernWXMedia it also said on the website that they were found.

Oh, ok. That’s great.

Thanks! Nice, this is a cool one.

Thanks. Good luck on that. Although, unfortunately, I’ve heard that many WX500s have weird decoders.

Thanks! Honestly, that sounds like an awesome deal, too.

Thanks! Good luck, then; this just proves it’s possible.

Thank you! I agree!

That's amazing. I wish I could access lightning data archives.

What?

Thanks. Had to reupload this due to the audio having oddly low quality, but it’s fixed now.

Thanks! Also, good luck with your 13-909 in an hour.

@@SouthernWXMedia I'm at work but I have my stationary camera up so it'll catch it

​@@SouthernWXMedia hey weather alerts time stamps

@@roob-e3e Sorry, I haven't gotten a chance to add them yet. I will hopefully within a day or two.

This is a very unusual TTS voice.

They might someday, with the way things are sadly going. Thanks for watching, though.

Thank you! I'm glad people still watch my storm videos. MANY more are coming.

Can you clarify what you're saying?

Thanks.

Thank you!

Thanks, that’s awesome! I haven’t found very many videos on it (at all), so I’m glad to see I’m meeting my goal of making new and helpful resources.

Not tuned for the frequency but yet it is working for his needs? Doesn't sound like a waste to me

When safety is concerned, especially with something as generalized as NOAA Weather Radio, adequate functionality is extremely important. In cases where the receiver’s location is too far from the transmitter to typically work at all, this antenna does a fantastic, industry-leading job at pulling in weak signals. Receive-only is a property all antennas for the NOAA Weather Band share; it is illegal for anyone except NOAA to transmit on their frequencies. This antenna is tuned perfectly to the NOAA Weather/Public Service Band, actually. J-poles may have some different calculations from most other antennas, using k ow and can’t find any specifics, but it matches perfectly with the lengths given by an online J-pole calculator I found. So, for a piece of equipment like this, the cost is entirely justified. Due to NOAA’s relatively low budget, they can’t maintain enough transmitters to perfectly cover all areas of the country with good signal, so it’s up to the end users to have equipment that’s up to the task of receiving NWR’s signals (especially since signal can never be guaranteed in some places, like deep basements or mountain ranges). Products like this can easily be overpriced, but in this case, especially since it’s truly made to last, it’s definitely worth every penny and the time it takes to set it up.

@@SouthernWXMedia Then splurge 1/10 the $$$ for a proper antenna that will get even better NOAA Weather Radio reception. Do a little studying about how antennas work, befriend an HAM radio operator and get a better antenna for 1/10 the cost. Halfwave J-Pole antenna that is tuned to the NOAA Weather Radio band can be made with 72 inches of wire. Large diameter elements (pipe) is not needed and a waste for receive. That is for handling transmit power. Huge waste for receiving NOAA Weather Radio. Much better antenna for NOAA Weather Radio band can be had for much less money.

@@BudgetStreamers You obviously don't have much understanding of antenna operation. If you didn't you'd understand that he spent way more for less.

@@RazorStrap You don't seem to grasp the idea of that if it works for him, whats the problem? Literally you are making a big stink because someone bought something to use that works for them but you are somehow unhappy. This is a good option for people who does not know much about antennas and such. $50 is not bad for a pre-built antenna that does what it is designed to do. And I do have understanding of antenna operations, but thanks for assuming that I don't. You must be one of them old Ham members that just likes to think he knows all and is better than everyone else.

So did I, it woke me up with a serious jolt!

I actually do that when I’m expecting the possibility of an alert coming in, but I didn’t think they’d issue anything else at the time. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@SouthernWXMedia Ok! You better get one and make it live 24/7 if you want.

Maybe someday. It’s not feasible for me currently.

It really is!

Yeah, the same one. He managed to get his camera going, whereas I was still waking up, LOL.

Ikr

Yeah! Thanks.

Thanks, I am. But a lot of people have reported noxious/irritant fumes from this event.

Yeah. I’m just glad it wasn’t for an actual bad event (since it was to notify of it being cancelled).

Yeah. Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks! They actually did a Hazardous Materials Warning last night around 4:00, which woke me the heck up, but I can’t get a decent recording of it due to KEC80 refusing to repeat it.

@@SouthernWXMedia wow

Me neither!

Thank you!

Thanks! I’m just glad it wasn’t a turn for the worse like I thought it might’ve been.
