Keith,

I am using a mobile phone connection. Its obviously slow, but in a 5-6min
call, I can check email, download headers from usw and a few interesting
articles (usually Darren and Colins daily posting so special thanks to
them!) the BBC PDA News plus any interesting articles), the LFV Metars/TAFs,
The spanish Meteosat (about 30kb) and the MetO Progs from the RNLI - all 4
progs to 72hr for less than 60kb.
I then put the Metars in to Digital Atmosphere that I have on the laptop.

With the International option on 02, its less than 50p /min so its probably
£3-4 a call but compared to everything else on the holiday it goes into the
noise...

Phil
