A search of the NOAA web site http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/ turns up SEVEN
(not just three) NOAA Weather Radio broadcasting frequencies.  I differ to
"The Voice";

"Known as the "Voice of the National Weather Service," NOAA Weather Radio is
provided as a public service by the Department of Commerce's National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. The NOAA Weather Radio network has
more than 480 transmitters, covering the 50 states, adjacent coastal waters,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR
requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the
signal. Broadcasts are found in the public service band at these seven
frequencies(MHz): 162.400  162.425  162.450   162.475  162.500  162.525
162.550."

My cheap Radio Shack radio picks up 162.400, 162.475 and 162.550, which
seems to suffice most of the time.
