I am capable of passing any sort of radio traffic by way of

I'd like to see you pass a weather satellite photo fax via
radiotelegraphy....

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.

No, Brian, digital information that is not analog voice is generally known as
data tansmission.

Only in "Tansania." :-)

At home, my wife and I enjoy watching and listening to cable service that
is ALL DIGITAL carrying many more TV channels than the old analog
cable service PLUS carrying over three dozen binaural, Dolby enhanced
specialty music channels carrying both voice and music.

US military field radio routinely uses DIGITAL modes in sending all kinds
of communications material...facsimile, scanned images, voice, text,
almost anything. In the field or at permanent bases. No problem.

Why DO you have such a problem with newer technology?

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

I guess you missed the entire point that WEFAX isn't in any circumstance
handled by Morse code. That is reserved for text communications or coded
letter
groups.

"Coded letter groups?!?!?"

Old-timer, you are still STUCK in technology of a half-century ago.

Even then, "coded letter groups" were fast disappearing in encrypted
communications. [those are alive only in fictional novels and in the minds
of old-timers]


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.

More gibberish and attempted bafflegab. That's all you know so you stick to
it.

Brian has good advice for you. Try heeding it.

If you don't, you will remain an ignorant old-timer unable to comprehend a
modern world.
