I made a silly mistake requesting gribWeather files. Graphics in Binary file: GRIBWeather files.
Graphics in Binary file: GRIB files associate a specific weather datum (eg wind velocity or atmospheric pressure) with a geographic position. Because the resulting file is a collection of these points they are extremely small and so ideal over slow links such as sailmail. files associate a specific weather datum (eg wind velocity or atmospheric pressure) with a geographic position. Because the resulting file is a collection of these points … Continue reading

desperately frustrating day trying 2 find prob. with hfHigh Frequency – usually refers to HFHigh Frequency – usually refers to HF radio which is long range digital radio that Berrimilla used to send all but a few of the logs on both circumnavigations. The radio was connected via a Pactor 3 digital modem to Alex’s laptop and used the Sailmail software application called Airmail to send emails and pull in emails, weather and GRIB files. Airmail also supports Iridium satellite telephone messaging and Alex used this as backup when the HF radio died approaching England. radio which is long range digital radio that Berrimilla used to send all but a few of the logs on … Continue reading

Topic(s): Computer crashes Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake (actually, I just forgot to explain it)? In the last Daily Bull, the GPS distance was less than the calculated day’s run. If everything is working properly, this should not be possible. But it isn’t all working properly and every time we have a USB crash, I have to turn off the GPS and the SatCom until I’ve got the system back up again – if there’s any data whatever getting to the USB-Serial gizmoSome kind of gadget or other, normally infuriating when it powers up, the laptop thinks … Continue reading

There seems to be no pattern to it except that it happens, when it does, as soon as I start transmitting.

Topic(s): Computer crashes Seems to happen every 24 hours or so. I’ve saved the bare error report by printing the screen and after I’ve sent these I will close the thing and try with a back-up laptop. That might not work with Iridium. Us’ll see.
Frustrating just doesn’t cut it.
