Basically you connect your Mac to a shortwave radio and tune in to weather fax station. You set the reception speed and desired resolution and start receiving. I'm not sure if I'm going to add the features that I still feel are missing, but if I get enough shareware payments, I will do so. In any case, anyone who send me a shareware payment of $25 (cash prefered, but I guess there might be a way for me to cash checks too) will receive a disk with the full source code for the program. You will need at least Think C 5.0 and TCL to compile the program.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu I don't know how much this has been discussed here, but I would like to know what I can do about our cable system. There is a real bad cable leak in our town. If I tune to 145.25 while in my car, I can even hear their continuous carrier, thats how bad it is.. Who do I talke to or contact about getting this problem fixed? Whenever someone transmits they get into everyones channel 18 in about a half mile radius. Noone has really complained to the cable company yet, probably because here it's a pay station (PASS.. joy) and I don't think many people subscribe to it..

I'll send you a list of all of the Mac Amateur Radio software that I am aware of under a seperate e-mail! ZCo must be out of business! I have not been able to reach them either and I am right across the boarder in Massachusetts. Here is the contest software I am aware of: *** Logging *** <Ham Radio Station Logbook> HyperCard stack that stores and displays radio contact information. Automatically stamps entries with time and date. Contacts can be sorted by frequency, call sign, or date of contact. Includes report formats, a "Q-code" reference list, and on-line help. SanSoft, 892 E. Quail Place, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126. (The same program appears to be available from Heizer Software, 1941 Oak Park Blvd., Suite 30, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523.) <FDLog!> Contact logging and duping program. Can transmit any of ten programmable CW messages. Generates real-time statistics on QSO rates. System One Control, 3900 85th Ave N, Suite 200, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443. <MacContest 4.0> The ultimate contest logging program for the Macintosh (System 7 proof). Covers CW/SSB/RTTY modes and all bands from 1.8 MHz to 5.7 GHz. Allows real-time or post contest logging for a wide variety of contests (30 contest include, new ones can be added). Checks for dupes, figures scores instantly. Offers various printouts (sorts per band, alpabetically, labels etc.) Interfaces to TNCs (KAM, PK-232) for CW, RTTY and packet modes. Built in terminal mode and packet DXcluster interface. Interface to Kenwood transceivers for automatic band/mode logging. MacinTalk voice output for real-time logging as well as to ease post-contest entry. Option to capture log in realtime to printer. Option to simultaneously create a save copy of the log to a different file/drive. Timetable showing actual grayline on a world map. MacContest is free but must be personalized to each user (otherwis it's limited to 50 contacts). To get a copy send a 3.5" diskette and a SASE to Gerald Eberle, HB9CEY, PO Box 13, CH-4417 Ziefen, Switzerland. Moritz (HB9BLZ) can act as a message forwarder for Gerald. Moritz' e-mail address is: gysslerm@saturn.kau.roche.com <LOGic> (Macintosh version scheduled.) Lets you define the rules determining dupes (such as once per band or once per contest). Displays heading, distance, and other information about the country being worked. Automatically enters contact time; if interfaced directly to a radio, also enters the frequency, band, and mode. Shows status toward earning amateur-radio awards. User-definable database fields. Exchanges data with other programs. Personal Database Applications, 2634 Meadow Bend Court, Duluth, GA 30136. <HF Logger 1.2> A real fine HyperCard logging program! (hey... thats all I got!) N0QGQ <Simple Log .2b> This little utility is a handy way to create a logging file that you can later import into any data base for analysis, etc. It also shows you that just about anyone can use Think C and create something on the Mac! Let me know if you'd like the source code. WD1V @ WA1WOK.NH.USA.NA Author is John Seney - WD1V, e-mail address is jseney@aol.com. For a copy of this program, mail a SASE disk mailer and 800K disk to: John D.

It uses >a standardized message ID which you can easily interpret, though. Depends on how long you hold message IDs - no one can hold them indefinitely so there must come a time when you can re-use one. I would guess that the interval is too long (and variable between sites) to be of use. I only keep the last 5000 IDs on my packet BBS, which is adequate for most purposes, and the last couple of weeks' worth for Usenet. > If you have no kill file, or feed control facitilites, >I strongly recommend to you to `get a real system', or inform your toy BBS >sysop `To upgrade or die'. > Catch-22 time... if I run a kill file it slows the system down (each potential incoming has to be checked) and the more in it, the slower it gets.
