Uh,, Bob, that isn't traffic, It's *data*. I guess if you were really
familiar with radio
you;d know that, wouldn't you?

Uhhh, DICK, you should know that weather data can be passed via many
modes, and that satellite imagery is referred to as wefax or wxsat.

Typically, what is called "DATA" is RTTY.

But all that is old technology. Today, we get our weather via
wideband, though you're free to play with UKMO and NAM transmissions.

which I learned as a requirement of my licensure as a
ham radio operator. There is no reason for you to be exempted from the
same.

Well, at least you finally admit that it's "I had to do it, you
should too."

The difference is, I know why. You obviously don't.

Couldn't be much of a difference since you obviously don't know why.
And I know why you don't. You're simply ignorant about weather comms.
Stick to things you know, such as CW and more CW. When you're done
talking about CW, you could switch to Morse so you don't sound like a
broken record.

And FWIW, radar image intensity bulletins used to be transmitted via
tty, and the receiver had to plot it on a predetermined overlay for
that particular radar station. So the concept is there for satellite
data transmission, but was never implemented. So go and create a
satellite overlay grid, then encode satellite IR temps (if you can),
and get cracking on Robert's idea.

See, you CAN use CW to send useful information rather than just ARRL
numbergrams.
