NOAA Weather Radio is steadily expanding across the country
as new transmitters are installed, usually with funding supplied
by state and local governments.
It is difficult for many listeners to know what is the best
NOAA Weather Radio transmitter to tune to for their location.
For listeners in Southern Wisconsin,
please refer to this listing
of counties and what transmitters offer the best radio
reception. Unfortunately, Weather Radio coverage is
not 100%. Some counties are at the edge of numerous transmitters
and if you are in an unfavorable geographic area in that county,
it may be difficult or impossible to pick up a station.
Some helpful hints to increase your chances of receiving
a signal. Place your radio in the house with as few walls
between it and the transmitter. For example, if the transmitter
is located south of where you live, put the radio along the
outside south wall (preferably not in the basement). Try to
use an outside antenna if reception is weak.
If you travel with your Weather Radio, here is a listing
of Weather Radio transmitters around Wisconsin.
