Anyone know who is doing this and where it is coming from? Seems it would be illegal to rebroadcast this with no additional ID for the AM frequency. It's pretty powerful too, a friend of mine can hear it in Dallastown!

>i believe it is a penndot frequency. during farm show in harrisburg they were broadcasting traffic info about the farm show.
 
Of course! Leave it to the gov't to break the law! Yes it IS indeed a Penndot transmitter. I set out to find it this morning and it is coming from a telephone pole at the Union Deposit rd exit off 83.
 
I don't know that i've actually ever heard PennDot put anything of substance on there about the roadways- i know in other areas of the state, particularly traveling north on 81 towards Scranton they put a looping message on about long term projects and to keep listening for updates. Probably a good move in my book not to do that here- since it normally doesn't have roadway information on it, if someone did see one of the overhead signs with a message to tune to that station they would.

Of course that could be seen as a double edged sword (if that is the correct terminology) Could take away from John Wilsbach, Dave Andrews, or even the one and only ThinkingMan's audience for traffic reports? :-O

1610 is for traffic advisories. I guess they just simulcast noaa wx when there's nothing going on...I've never tuned to it before.<P ID="signature">______________
