10 W.Va. and Va. counties are asking for changes inside radio quiet zone
Manage episode 450989738 series 18405
In West Virginia’s most remote mountains are two research facilities that analyze radio waves.
Since the 1950s, the federal government has designated parts of Pocahontas and Pendleton Counties as a National Radio Quiet Zone, meaning radio, TV and other communication signals must operate at low power.
Now, ten West Virginia and Virginia counties are asking the government to change these restrictions, to ensure 9-1-1 calls get to emergency responders.
Roxy Todd reports.
