[GreenKeys] ASCII replacing Baudot

[John Spigel]

The US Weather service started replacing all Baudot with ASCII in 2016 
says NOAA. Although difficult to believe anyone would be creating maps 
with the weather typeset until then. It would be interesting to hear 
more of the story. Where would these older machines, 28s presumably or 
32s have been active? News stations, outposts in AK? Pacific islands. or 
overseas? Any weather service list members?
