Upcoming Scheduled Outage of Bloomington NOAA Weather Radio

An outage of NOAA Weather Radio station KZZ-65 in Bloomington is scheduled for sometime between February 10-12. Technicians will be relocating the equipment at the transmitter site. The exact time frame is uncertain as it will depend on weather conditions, but the outage time is expected to only be a few hours. The transmitter will remain in the same area (Nord Farms site near the I-55/ Market St. interchange in Bloomington), so no changes in service area are expected.
