Last night I copied the National Weather Service out of Miami, FL on 
4428.7 KHz around 2230 local. They were broadcasting a weather report for the 
Atlantic. The only unusual thing about the report was that it was given 
by a voice synthesizer, not a person.

Are there other examples of this on HF? Also, I noticed Gander 
Aeradio and New York Aeradio still seem to have a person reading 
their weather - job security?

Thanks.

73,
