USCG to continue HF weather broadcasts via radiofax, voice, and SITOR

On Nov 03, 08 it is proposed that several radiofax charts produced by the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center and broadcast from New Orleans, Pt. Reyes and Honolulu be based on information from different model run times. A 36 hour wind/wave chart will be added to the New Orleans broadcast. The new broadcast schedules may be found at http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/marine.shtml and will be broadcast on-air beginning on or about Oct 27, 08. This change is proposed to better align workflow to model production. Please send comments to Christopher.A.Burr@noaa.gov by Oct 03, 08

SIZE and UPDATED... refer to .TIF version of files

Many of these charts are also broadcast from Pt. Reyes, CA and Kodiak, AK.
