    Thanks for the tip David. I'm a glutton for books so I'll probably get this one.

    <snip>Does anyone know a good book or website that explains he nuts and bolts of receiving
    weatherfaxes and e-mail via SSB? </snip>
    Well Steve:
    I bought "HF Radio E-Mail for "Idi-Yachts" by Marti Brown" It's a little pricey at about $29 on
    Amazon.com but you could probably find it cheaper in the used book market or on ebay.

    Great resourse though and well worth the price. Covers setting up your radio, what to solder to
    what, connecting to the nets for morning checkin and gossip etc. Weather faxes and how to get
    them...

    And, an easy enteraining read to boot!
