I will summarize any mail received though I hope most reply will be to this group so everyone can share. First question: Is there anything of interest transmitted other than cloud pictures and service information? Weather maps and radar summaries would be very nice. Second question: Where can I get info on other services offered by NOAA such as: weather maps maybe via HF fax, video from local radar sites (somehow the TV stations get it I suspect via a dial up line), and any other public domain weather information. With the TVRO signals due to be scrambled maybe this info might be useful someday to others on the net. Also my display device will be a PC so there could be some fun software to share. Lastly should there be enough interest I would be willing to serve as a clearing house for a mailing list on the subject provided I can get to the users of interest from my network (usenet) connection. 73 Larry Pajakowski UUCP: ihnp4!tellab1!extel!larry TELCO: 312-291-4991
