I may be wrong but my impression is that there were many more SYNOPs
from ships in the 1960s and 1970s than there are today. There were
certainly many more ships plying the oceans 30-40 years ago.

It would seem logical that were more back then, Norman. I was thinking in
terms of the last 10 or so years.
