AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 162.55, 162.40, 162.475 MHz.
This is the correct answer because the NOAA VHF weather reports are continuously broadcast on VHF channels WX-1, WX-2, and WX-3, which are part of the National Weather Service's network of weather radio stations. These stations operate on the frequencies 162.55 MHz (WX-1), 162.40 MHz (WX-2), and 162.475 MHz (WX-3), which are in the VHF (Very High Frequency) range.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) 156.8, 157.1, 162.55 MHz are not the correct frequencies for the NOAA VHF weather reports.
B) 162.55, 162.00, 171.5 KHz are in the wrong frequency range (kHz instead of MHz).
D) 2182, 2638, 2670 KHz are in the HF (High Frequency) range, not the VHF range used for the NOAA weather broadcasts.
