Default Amateur Radio - to get weather info, access mail etc?

Just to be pedantic (and because I've been corrected on this), you can
use Airmail (the software) w/o even having a radio (it can use an
internet connection). If you use it with an HF radio you will need
access to the bands. For Sailmail (a service provider) that means a
ships station license and individual license for those bands valid in
the waters you are traveling. For Winlink (a collective of volunteers
who provide service) that means a general or extra ham ticket.
