John,

I've not used Navtex, but have read that with the proper Navtex decoding software, one can receive the signals via HF radio and download them for viewing on a computer. Any perspective on this?

I agree with your recommendation regarding WeFax, text and voice, to which I would add GRIB forecasts, downloadable via SSB from Saildocs.com.
