| Rogers
County falls under the jurisdiction of the
National Weather Service Tulsa Office. The
frequency for the NWS Tulsa Weather Radio is 162.550.
If you have the Real
Networks player plugin, you can listen to the
Tulsa
NWS Weather Radio here. The RCEMA
Commercial Repeater Frequency is 155.085.
We use the Rogers County Wireless Association's (
RCWA ) Amateur
Radio repeater, located in Claremore, OK for our
Amateur Radio spotter communications. This
frequency is 147.090+. We also monitor the
Tulsa Skywarn Amateur Radio Frequencies of 146.880-
and the 70cm National Weather backbone frequency
of 443.850. The use of the local 70cm
repeater 444.350 may be added in the
future, but it is not used for Skywarn at this
time.
CB:
We are presently considering monitoring the 11
meter band (CB) for those spotters having access
to CB radios. Currently we are considering using
channel 7 for CB spotter communications due to
it's proximity to the emergency channel 9, and
switching to channel 19 for trucker reports.
CB UPDATE:
Although it has not been completely decided to
rule out this service, the simple fact that this
service has so much ambient noise that would add
to the already high confusion levels in the EOC
communications center, that it looks doubtful
that CB service will be used.
FRS:
We have considered using the Family Radio Service
(FRS) radios, but have decided against using it
due to its limited coverage.
