They only propagate errors across the Internet,
then I catch hell for it.
The link to NOAA's
world radiofax schedule is working again:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/rfax.pdf
WLO/KLB change their weather skeds too frequently for a document such
as this one to keep up. It's better to go to their web site:
http://www.wloradio.com/Frequencies.htm . Listen on the top of the
hour for Gulf weather and traffic lists.
Amateur nets move around. Just tune the band for anyone obviously
using procedures. 20 meters above 14100 is prime hunting territory
in day time, and 75 meter LSB is common at night.
