Hello,
Does the national weather service still broadcast a
local weather report at 60 wpm? Are there any weather nets
I can print from?

Andrew,
The old program "heavymetal.exe" http://www.buzbee.net/heavymetal/
would go out to the NWS website and bring back weather information
for various cities. You could then output it in 5 or 8 bit format at
various speeds via a serial port. The program will also generate
test signals and TTY art.
You need a computer with a serial port and finding the NWS code for
your city takes a little research, but it produces a nice daily
weather report. We run it each day we are open at the Antique
Wireless Museum.
If you are interested in getting the NWS reports this way , check
back here at Greenkeys after y ou have downloaded the program for
details on how to find your weather code.
