Weather Faxes
I realize I can download practically any weather chart I might dream of from the National Weather Service websites, but somehow it’s just neat to pull the weather fax transmissions for mariners over shortwave and look at those. The transmissions I was picking up originate from a station at Point Reyes and cover the North Pacific. Admittedly, I’m glad I didn’t need to actually read these faxes for nautical purposes: there was too much noise in the transmission for them to be legible. But I’m working on that.
