Default HF Weather Fax Schedules ?

HF Weather Fax Schedules ?


One of the features which I like about the SWL databases is that I can
do a search for "What's on now" but I have found nothing on internet
that I can do this for HF Weather Fax. NOAA puts out a very good HF
Wefax schedule (updated June 16,2003,available at
http://weather.gov/om/marine/rfax.pdf) but it is listed by region which
is probably what I would want if I was in a ship. If I want to recive
weather faxes at let's say 9 AM Saturday morning, I have to scroll
through pages and pages of text to find out what's on. Does anyone know
of any wefax schedules in which they are listed by transmission times?

Yesterday, I started converting the data from NOAA's schedule into dbf
format so that I can sort by time of day, transmitter location, chart
type or frequency. I am almost finished with inputting the North
America data but if someone has already done this then it would sure
save me alot of time. If this information is not in .dbf format
elsewhere and if there is interest, I may continue with other continents.

Any comments anyone?
