[OZAPRS] OZAPRS Digest, Vol 22, Issue 7

[Pete]

Btw Ray I think that it's more an
Igate network issue as I looked at the Wx server and there were msg for our area, just didn't seem to make it any further. It's usually very good just that it's been quiet, and it's been raining for 3 days on and off, isolated storms and snow down to 800 meters. It hadn't stopped raining since my comment yesterday. I might try to gate  on another freq, to see if that can isolate the fault

Its hard to understand considering how crappy the WX has been for the last few days and how bad it must be out at sea for the Maritime traffic.
