NOAA Weather Radio, 162-40 MHz...

...and 95-3 MHz on your radio dial?

It's behind 162-40 in audio, and by a lot. Anyone else hearing this one? It's not the best signal in north central Houston, so it's either pretty low power, a fair distance away, or likely a bit of both. I've had it audible for around 20 minutes now since I first caught it.

"Seas to feet, a chance of showers and thuuu nder storms." Good Lord, they need to return to a human voice delivery.
 
NOAA weather radio is using several different voices these days, and some of them are actually pretty good.

The older "Perfect Paul" voice is rough. (Notice how it pronounces "O'Hare" when it goes through the conditions).
The mid-2000s voice, "Craig" was a big improvement.
The recent Tom voice is actually pretty understandable. Unfortuantely, I haven't heard this improved voice originating at many NWS forecast offices. Many still use Paul, or use a mixture of Paul and Craig.
 
Craig seems to be the exact same as Tom, to me.
There are some newer voices that sound even better, though. Ten years ago I had a weather radio and traveled to Colorado and some of the stations up there were actual recorded humans.

For many years, KGG-68 here in Houston was too.
 
We should be getting pretty close to the official launch of KTTF. Several media articles earlier in the summer stated that the station would launch by the end of September.

KTTF has been on and off over the past few weeks with the NOAA weather radio filler. I've heard it as far away as the Katy Freeway at the West Loop.
