[Icom] Rumor Mill pictures

[Don Henry]

Thank you Gary , What I really need the link for
a. a better link for our  clubs IRLP link
b. I rx the HRPT weather picture , A complete picture is over 100 meg and
you can get about 10-12 a day
c I also rx both the goes satellite wefax and the emwim weather systems
As you can see my problem is not downloading programs but uploading and
sending them to other hams  , there are many commerical systems that will
let me download of a satellite at high speed but that not my problem .  I
have line of sight to my college from my house  so low erp could work.thanks
again
