 United States National Radio Quiet Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States National Radio Quiet Zone is a large area of land surrounding the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) near Green Bank, West Virginia.
Most radio transmitters within the area are licensed, and exceptions are usually determined on a case-by-case basis, with preference given to public safety concerns.
Not all radio transmissions are prohibited, but station owners must typically coordinate their operations with representatives of the NRAO.
