It was needed to be done here, during the passage of hurricane Ivan, the only communications link between "La Bajada" meteo radar station in the western tip of Cuba and INSMET in Havana was a NVIS link on HF ham radio frequencies, IN VOICE. Telephone and microwave relay towers fell with the wind gusts. The NHC in Miami also received that data. It would be more reliable to do it with a robust data link. But a similar scenario happened here, hurricanes use to do that... Jose, CO2JA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
