I am not a ham but do use acfax for NOAA weather maps. I know that
experimentation amongst some new hams has dropped off with the advent of
solid state transceivers. But I thought Linux was a good fit for those
looking for something to play with. It may be time to dust off the
thinking cap, and come up with an answer for the missing functionality.
We would love to hear about any application you develop to answer the needs.
