They need to put in a radar NW of IRK and another near MCW far more than they need another NWR transmitter. Once they get good radar coverage established, then they can put in the NWR.

It's wonderful they finally have a station in that area. As someone who lived in and worked as a met tech in Quincy, IL for 7 years, I can say with some authority that area was in need of a source of current weather coverage. Now if we could only get decent radar coverage near IRK.
