[Elecraft] OT: HF weather fax

[Dave Cole]

Hi Fred,

I also use MixW for all digital modes, save JT modes...  I find that
for me it is far better than any other program out there.  I have it
connected to my K3 as well, and it does a good job on the Weather FAX,
as well as all other digital modes.  If you have a list of freqs, can
you send them to me off list...

I moderate the yahoo support group for MixW, (around 4000 users still
yet, so lots of support there), if you don't have the updated macros,
and manual for MixW, do visit the group.  

There is a Russian fellow there who has written a pile of DLLs for
contests, beyond the ones the Mixw site has, and a fellow that has
totally rewritten the help files as well!  All down-loadable and all
free...  

See the link at the bottom of my note here...  The one for MixW
support.

73's, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
