<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3><STRONG><FONT size=2>Thanks Jay for your
comments. This is exactly what I was asking about. I am always amazed as to how
dicussions morph into areas that, tho interesting, are not really on point. I am
as much to blame here as I did not state my request as eloquently as you have
for me. </FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>

in the process of reviving my WindReader project and wish to consider more
modern ways of presenting the data to the balloon pilot. Since this is an APRS
Sig, it was natural for the members to look at my request as a way to transmit
the output of personal weather stations as it is currently being done with APRS.

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3><STRONG><FONT size=2>Jay has put my request to
the sig in exactly the manner that I wish I had done with my original post. If
anyone has any ideas they would like to pass along, I would be grateful. I don't
wish to get into some legal wrangling over a simple request for information.
