NOTE: For ham radio operators using Winlink to
download weather, the file names used below are the same ones used in the
Winlink catalogs.
U.S. Coast Guard Communications Station NMC - Point Reyes,
CA
Assigned frequencies 4346, 8682, 12730, 17151.2, 22527 kHz
Select a carrier frequency 1.9 kHz below those listed when using a
single sideband radio in the USB mode to receive these broadcasts.
The latest version of marine weather charts for broadcast by the U.S. Coast
Guard are available from the National Weather Service Telecommunication
Gateway on this server. The listed charts are in the G4(T4) format and
enveloped in TIFF for viewing. Satellite images are in JPEG format.
