Topband: 1610 KHz AM Channel in USA

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Hi Mike, 


Think again :) 


1610 is by far the most popular Travellers Information Station (TIS) 
frequency, followed by 530 kHz, then by many frequencies above 
1610 kHz 


There are twelve TIS stations in Missouri, only five on 530 kHz

I thought those roadside TIS stations are on 530 khz, Larry. Are they also 
on 1610? Anyway, thanks for sharing!
