G'day,

I've recently bought a short wave radio to pick up the weather forecasts for
those parts of Australia's coast where coastguard VHF and mobile phones are
out of range. The forecasts I've located so far are very clear but the
locations are all given as latitude and longitude and not as place names
(hardly suprising for marine forecasts). I'm still searching to see if
theres a frequency where the coastal forecasts are given with the more
convenient place names and I wondered how the NOAA forecasts were presented
in the USA?

All the best, PeterO
