listening to the weather band
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their weather reporting authorities.
NOAA and your local weather reporting authority broadcast your local forecast and regional weather information on one or more of these channels.
