April 1st to 15th, WQSI562 In Morgan County, Indiana will run 100 watts on 1700khz instead of their usual 10 watts. The STA was asked for and granted because of the solar eclipse with totality traversing their immediate region and the safety/road issues caused by the huge influx of people during the last eclipse.

TIS In Indiana To Get 100 Watts Temporarily
- Thread starter SomeRadioGuy
- Start date
Here's the order: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-287A1.pdf
From where do these TIS stations broadcast? From a tower? From the guardrails? Wires strung in rights-of-way trees?
Despite the ripe, Canada-to-Tennessee Interstate 81 corridor not even a mile south of the place here -- an actual steady lullaby at night -- there haven't been any TIS stations logged here yet. There are merely a few unID 'tentatives', and they'll probably never get awarded The Big Gotcha Dot next to them to count as heard.
And since the I-81 exit sign for this town has the off-arrow for us and 'Everywhere Else 500 Miles', local pickings on the X-Band are meagre.
On our car trips up to Scranton and further to the Catskills to see relatives and in-laws though, that same I-81 is sprinkled with those blue TIS signs. 1700, 1640 and so forth It seems that half of them weren't on.
And what we heard one happy trip on a few that were on was a list of overnight temperatures Pretty accurate. Temperatures for Dickson City .. Throop (said 'troop') ..... Kaiser Valley .... Binghamton ....
...... only the temps were from the previous night. We decided that this new format -- Solid Gold Weather -- just might have a chance. But only if there was a tunnel on I-81 all the way from Knoxville to Ontario.

Totally OT here. If you have never driven I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley, you are missing out. Absolute beautiful country up there.
Also I-81 where it crosses into Canada at the 1000 Islands is gorgeous.
