Weatherfax
I finally got my Furuno weatherfax working here in the Med. Last year I used the frequencies and transmission times from Heikell's "Italian Waters Pilot" with no luck. This year I used the data from Imray's "Mediterranean Almanac 2007-08" which seems to work. The data available here is kind of disappointing. Compare the image above (actual size!) to what was available in Northern Europe from the UK Met office below (synoptics, wind barbs, etc.)
