Why cant FX members get dial-in wind in SF Bay? I dont want to carry a pager as well as my cell, but would like to access whats up when not at my desk. What do the computerless do? (Get a pager, right...?)

On the east coast we have a phone sevice, which gives us the same forecast as the iwindsurf page. So where ever we are we can access the wind on the entire east coast, either on the phone, or the internet. Im supprised you guys dont have that phone service.

Folks,
In California, Wireless members get full access to dial-in wind reports. FX members do not. Reason: Combine the technological limitations with the sensors themselves with the sheer number of FX members that there are in California, and the result would be: calls from FX members would keep our sensors phone lines busy and make them unable to dial out at key (windy) time periods. This would prevent the pager from receiving the updates.

This should be clear. Any questions, let me know.
