I turn my scanners channel/freq. to 119.17500 and this is what I heard.


The weather observations are self updated automatically.

Most if not all airports have that.  Always gotta know the weather when flying

It might actual be the NWS, not an airport. Though the NWS's weather stations generally operate in the 160-170mhz range.  :yes:

The beginning of the transmission says Toledo Suburban Airport :unsure:

I hear the message every 5 or 7 seconds. Updates conditions in a timelike fashion. Whenever the next Zulu time portion occurs
