A bill to modernize NOAA Weather Radio and increase it's coverage in areas poorly served by cellular phones is enjoying bipartisan support in both the House of Representatives and the US Senate. For those of us who depend on NWR, or just enjoy DXing these stations, the bill could use our support. Write your representatives today and request that they support it. Here in Alabama, we recognize the life-saving benefits of weather radio. Also parts of our state are still very rural, and cell phone coverage is lacking. This is true in many states, but in urban areas they value of weather radio isn't always understood.
