Amateur Radio - to get weather info, access mail etc?

by Marc Heusser <marc.heusser@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mar 21, 2008 at 05:10 PM

I am an electrical engineer and could quite easily get a licence for 
amateur radio.
Does it pay off if I'd do that to access weather charts etc on a boat - 
this year in Europe, both on inland waterways in France and in the 
eastern North sea (between Germany, Denmark and Sweden)?

Apart from a transceiver I have a Mac that should decode the signals 
without any extra hardware with MultiMode 
(http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/multimode.html).

Or are other options better?

TIA

Marc
