[GreenKeys] Speaking about ITTY...

Thu Aug 22 12:01:43 EDT 2019

One of our members operates a public i-Telex weather server that you can
dial up for within the
i-Telex network (i-Telex 727272).
He provides the German weather (of course) that we get from a server of the
German weather service
and he also provides U.S. weather based on the location codes for our US
members in
the specific areas are living in.
