To everyone on this echo:
I've noticed of late that there hasn't been a whole heck of a lot of traffic 
about RTTY here.  In addition, what few messages that do come this way seems 
to include supposedly off-topic stuff about WEFAX, FEC, morse, and the like. 
What I propose is to make all the above stuff officially on-topic here.  Call 
the echo RTTY/WEFAX or whatever.  I'd also like to see more stuff on 137 mHz 
and 1691 mHz wx sat broadcasts, since there seems to be a large scale move of 
weather info from shortwave to microwave and the like.
What does everybody think?  I'm open to comments.  And, also, thanks to 
everybody that's contributed in the past and help answer my questions.

ps.  Write your representatives about the loss of weathjer info resources on 
shortwave.  Remember, shortwave receivers are cheap and easy to build for the 
amature or professional.  I hate to think that real-time weather information 
that belongs to all taxpayers should be limited to those with cable 
television and/or the money to build a satellite downlink.
