Did SSEC ever have a DIFAX feed?
We in AOS at UW Madison used to send out the Genuine Imitation DIFAX maps <TM>
for a while, but some time ago I lost a disk and with it, many of the scripts
that ran those.
We haven’t sent any out in at least a year, probably longer.
I took a look on the rtstats site at Unidata and did not see any sites
reporting sending or receiving the DIFAX feed.
