      Marquette. This NOAA weather station employs a special tone-alert
      system with a 1050 Hz for 3-5 seconds to activate specially equipped
      receivers so that severe weather messages will be noticed; weekday noon
      tests of the system are conducted, except when conditions have a weather
      warning in progress or imminent.
