Who needs the Met office?

Posted on Monday, January 1st, 2018 by M0TAZ

The reception of WEFAX has been around for many years, it may well surprise you it is still around today.

It’s interesting to download some of these maps, from a system that sounds a bit like your old fax machine or loading your favourite game into a BBC micro from the tape drive.

Yes, that’s all very 1980s, and I guess also 2018 HNY.

Want to give it a go? Read how to in this article.

    Excellent article. I now have my Raspberry Pi2, with Fldigi, giving me wx maps from my Icom IC-7300’s USB data link on 4.608 MHz. Thanks Dave.
