I wrote one. But unfortunately a SMS message is too short, so it ends up coming back as three messages. Hmmm, is it available to the vast r.a.* audience? I'm a little reluctant to share because I don't know what sort of volume it might get. Give it a try, send an sms to . You can specify the stations in the subject line or in the body. If the volume gets too high, I'll turn it off. There use to be an AIM nickname called Pilotsmart Metar that if you sent a text message to it with only the airport identifier in the body, it would return the current metar. I actually liked using it on my phone that had AIM on it, but I have not seen it up in quite some time. Scott D. |
