It actually had the Pavlov effect on me. Half way through, I started wondering when I'd hear the local near shore forecast!Thats pretty damn funny.

yeah, me too
I can remember one cold foggy 4:00 am morning of my misspent youth when I walked up into the wheel house of the commercial salmon boat I was working on.
The NOAA Dude was droning on about square waves whilst the stink of the arcing stylus of the old paper graph Furuno filled the air.
And I thought to myself, Shit man, I'm getting seasick . . .
This is pretty ironic,
considering we were still tied up and hadn't left the dock yet

My only hope is that they actually broadcast that out over the airwaves a couple of times.
I can hear it now expecting the next weather forecast and getting that brilliant piece of music.

That's what happens when you ask Washington to Administrate the oceans and atmosphere.

Sven. Because he sounds like a drunken Swede. Of course, if you listen to him for too long, you'd need a few drinks, too.Hilarious! We always called him 'Iron Mike'.
At the beginning, the way he used to mispronounce some of the local place names was hilarious: "Falmouth" became "Foul mouth", for example.
Northeast Region has largely retired that voice.
