Do weather radios get a signal?

I have no clue if fire data is transmitted on weather stations or not.  And unfortunately the weather report is a generic report for the entire area covered by a that station, could have a radius of 50 miles.

With a high gain antennae I have gotten reception in places I should not have, but still there have been places where I got no reception at all.

Yes, George, about 70% of the time in the areas of SE Oregon and northern Nevada I travel, especially at night. My favorite weather radio for America is the Sony SRF-M37W. I have previously described it in some detail here:

Oregon Public Radio has a number of transmitters and repeaters throughout rural Oregon, so I am most likely to get those. Except for relayed national content, the local broadcasts on the hour or half-hour tend to cover local and regional weather at least to a cursory degree, so I can sometimes get those stations if the National Weather Service ones are unavailable.

All the best,

Dan.
