Good evening, This message is off-topic, but I hope someone can provide me some help and information.
Desire: To receive updated news (in an ASCII text format), that I can then save to a text file and then send using different digital modes. This will be done over the internet, if possible and not on the ham bands, of course. Background: CWCom, has a channel that sends news items (the item and a couple of lines) in CW. W7TTY has an internet stream of news (that users upload to a queue) that he sends as an RTTY stream. I would like to have a source for news that could then be used as a feeder to the different digital modes. I do not know anything about RSS feeds other than plugging and chugging at the Yahoo RSS web screens on this topic. Can this information be received in some format that can easily be retrieved and saved as an ASCII file that strips out HTML or similar kinds of characters? If so, how? Anyway, if anyone can provide me a way forward, I would be most appreciative. Regards, George, NJ3H
