The National Weather Service (NWS) Southern New England Weather

On Thursday I had to race up to Great Blue as we lost a T1 and I found a Verizon person working on a new circuit for NOAA so I don't think it will be long. She had accidentally bumped are jack and evidently our tab was not locked well. The NOAA transmitter was still off.

The "Cape" broadcast 162.550 is/was coming off of Otis . Does this mean it is now being moved to Hyannis. Doesn't make much sense as I believe Hyannis proper is to be a lower overall elevation. Unless they put it up on one of the monster towers along RT 6?
