[-] KWO35 New York City, NY transmitter interference issues
The NOAA Weather Radio transmitter that serves the New York City metropolitan area (KWO35 on the frequency 162.550) has been causing radio frequency interference on the U.S. Coast Guard channel 16 transmitter for international distress safety and calling since late July. We have installed a filter on the NYC transmitter which reduced, but did not eliminate this problem. We are continuing to work with the U.S. Coast guard to resolve this problem and apologize for the interruption of our routine weather broadcasts.

NOTE: The NYC transmitter will be placed in operation for the issuance of short fuse life threatening weather watches and warnings such as tornadoes, severe storms, and flash flood watches and warnings to ensure dissemination through the Emergency Alert System which is carried by the broadcast media.

Thanks for your patience and for listening to NOAA Weather Radio.
