[FedCom] Packet on NWS freqs

[Randy True]

A couple of years ago, I came across a packet signal on 409.675; a freq =
licensed to
the National WX Service. I ran the scanner audio through my TNC and =
decoded the packets.

The signal was coming from a Cincinnati TV station, WCPO channel 9.
It just kept sending the same packet every 10 to 20 seconds.

WCPO-1>CQ/1: <UI>:N7

A call to the Station Engineer confirmed that it was "part of our weather=
 system which is licensed through the NWS and operates on their =
frequencies."

Subsequent emails went un-answered.

Has anyone else come across this?
