KBA99
- Not to be confused with NOAA Weather Radio station KHA99 in Muenster, Texas.
KBA99 is a NOAA Weather Radio station that is programmed from the National Weather Service forecast office in Honolulu, Hawaii with its transmitter located on Mt. Ka'ala in Oahu. Although this station primarily serves Honolulu and surrounding islands, several repeater translators are added, broadcasting weather and hazard information for the entire state of Hawaii and can be heard 40 miles into the Pacific Ocean. It also transmits on Oceanic Time Warner Cable digital channel 880 for all of Hawaii.[1]
It is the only NOAA station in the United States that still uses the early version of the "Tom" voice.
Translators
- All transmitters broadcast with a power output of 1,000 Watts unless otherwise noted.
= For the Big Island transmitters: when severe weather occurs, these stations will break away from the KBA99 simulcast to broadcast hazardous watches and warnings. Flash flood warnings for the other islands will not be broadcasted on the transmitters.[2]
