Amateur Radio Packet Systems and Skywarn
Omaha / Valley Nebraska
Our NWS office (Omaha/Valley NE) has a packet station along with the standard FM voice equipment. I'm checking out the
possibility of using packet to distribute watches, warnings, and RCMs to the local area.
However, our packet computer is (right now) just a 286. I believe we can hook a serial line to it that will have the
various teletype products on it, but that's still to be worked out. Does anyone out there have any software (or ideas)
on how to automatically send out certain bulletins soon after they come off the wire? Another problem I see is putting
the incoming data into some sort of parser so individual bulletins are broken out into separate files. I'm considering
writing a small TPK server to do the sending if I can't find anything else.
Any ideas, stories, etc. are appreciated.
