As a sailor who listens to NOAA weather radio and has listened
for many years, I can tell you NOAA weather radio has become
next to useless.

As a pilot who depends even more on weather forecasts than when I'm
wearing my sailor hat, I can tell you that the gubmint puts out some
pretty good stuff. NOAA radio may be useless but a lot of other stuff
isn't. It's so good in fact, that companies want to be able to get it
free from the taxpayers and then sell it back to them.
