How have others solved the problem of obtaining long range weather forecasting (beyond the horizon and the local barometer) when outside the envelope of VHF broadcasts provided by the coast guard? SSB and HAM radios would be useful for this purpose but what can kayakers use? Has anyone an internet source of AM radio stations, powers, and times that broadcast the weather in the Caribbean? From Havana? Elsewhere? In the Sea of Cortez the cruising sailboats relay forecasts northward each morning it used to be at 8:00 AM) from boat to boat as far up the 800 mile waterway as the chain would reach. Another advantage of VHF used cooperatively. Are there other such nets? RGM -- Richard G.
