🔍 Key Concepts

• NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) uses specific VHF frequencies between 162.400 and 162.550 MHz • Each coastal area (like New London, CT) is assigned one or more dedicated NWR channels • Mariners often refer to these as WX channels (e.g., WX1, WX2, etc.) on their VHF sets

💭 Think About

• Think about how many standard NOAA weather frequencies exist in the 162 MHz band and which specific ones are commonly used in the Northeast U.S. • Consider whether New London’s broadcast would likely be on the lowest, highest, or a middle value among the listed frequencies. • If you’ve seen the NOAA chart of NWR stations by state, recall which exact frequency is tied to the New London or nearby coastal transmitter.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the official NOAA Weather Radio frequency list for Connecticut coastal stations (especially New London or nearby sites like Montauk or Groton). • Confirm that the frequency you choose is one of the standard NWR channels (not an odd or nonstandard value). • Double‑check that only one of the options matches the published New London NWR assignment so you’re not mixing it up with another nearby city.
