Description:

Listen to this real-time audio from Miami's KHB34 NOAA Weather Radio (162.550 MHz) as it switches from an old-school telephone line to a new LTE audio feed on Tuesday, October 21.
The NWS has been working on this upgrade for years, ditching landlines for LTE links to make broadcasts more reliable, but DOGE stepped in to produce the rest of the needed kits, letting transmitter sites with adequate LTE coverage flip the switch nationwide.
