Default Shortwave Weather Broadcasts

For anyone fortunate enough to have a short wave receiver with SSB
capability, a list of speech weather transmission frequencies can be
found at:

http://www.yachtcom.co.uk/comms/Frequencies.htm

I guess the most readily received - well in Southern England - are
Shannon Volmet on 5.505MHz and RAF Volmet on 5.450MHz. They fade away a
bit after dark but are a good "59" signal in daylight hours. No prize
for spotting the mistake in the information/format guide - I wonder what
"Due Point" is!!!

For various reasons I find that a very useful link ... thank you for
posting it.

And for fun, 'due point' is the date you have to pay for the yacht ? (-:
