[Lowfer] 518 kHz Navtex

[Douglas Williams]

J.B.

Be careful not to keep any personal information or do any banking, etc. on
those Win7 PCs. I'm pretty sure Win7 support has been, or is about to be
discontinued by Microsoft, which means no more security updates. Our IT
dept recently updated us to Windows10 at work, and they *never* update
Windows unless absolutely necessary.

73,
