[Elecraft] OT: HF weather fax

[Fred Jensen]

I copy Pacific WEFAX from NMC using my K3 and MIXW, on Windoze 10 now, 
but I've done it on 98, XP, and 7 too.  MIXW is fairly old, but really 
works well.  Also copies a variety of other dig modes [no JT's] and 
SSTV, should you like to have noisy images of scantily clad women on 
your computer. :-))

The WEFAX from NMC are really big, as in E-size drawings or maybe 
bigger.  I watch them until they get to the area of the Pacific I care 
about and then start the save-to-file.  They're at 120 LPM, you can get 
the program to sync automatically, I usually just set the line rate to 
119 and watch the sync bar until it's over on the right or left edge.

73,
