KPS504

KPS504 (sometimes referred to as Nenana All Hazards) is a NOAA Weather Radio station that serves Fairbanks and surrounding cities. It is programmed from the National Weather Service forecast office in Fairbanks, Alaska with its transmitter located in Nenana. It broadcasts weather and hazard information for Denali Borough, Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.

History

On September 6, 2008, the NWS Alaska Region and the city of Nenana completed the installation of a Crown 300 Watt NOAA Weather Radio transmitter and associated communications in Nenana. The transmitter was funded under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA grant purchased the transmitter and antenna; the city of Nenana provided a building and tower space along with electrical power for 15 years, thus KPS-504 became the 1,000 transmitter in the NOAA Weather Radio network.

KPS 9566

KPS 9566 is a North Korean standard which specifies an ISO 2022-compliant 94x94 two-byte coded character set for the Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. First published in 1993, it has since undergone several revisions in 1997, 2000 and 2003, mainly to enhance compatibility with Unicode. These are commonly indicated by specifying the year (KPS 9566-97, 9566-2000 and 9566-2003).

In principle, KPS 9566 is similar to the South Korean KS X 1001 encoding, except that it uses a different ordering of characters to conform with North Korean lexicographical ordering standards. It is also notable for its inclusion of several special characters from North Korean political life, including the following:
