SSB available for testing

I spoke to Walter Sidor over the seekend, and he has a 110 volt SSB receiver that he will let us use to test the weatherfax software. Walter lives in Hartford, so we need to find a way to get it to the Boston area so Bruce can begin testing wtih it.

Anybody heading that way?

Weather Blog

This was created to give Bruce a place to record the facts, encourage discussion among the team, and record the conclusions.

Bruce, please be sure to include the experienced members of the team and solicit the help of the experienced poeple of ssca.org and the sailing and cruising forums (links on the home page).

One thing I forgot to mention in the meeting at my house - xm weather does not cover the caribbean, which is one of the reasons I have not favored spending the big bucks for WxWorx.
