Velloo old boy, how in the devil have u been?
Couple of questions?
1. You mentioned that there's a relay station for lumpur atis somewhere on the east coast, but unfortunately we dont get very good range out of it. Since kuantan has an atis and they being a military station and with not very many civil flights into there, any chance they could transmit lumpur wx alternately on their freq. It would also help guys flying out of there to kul to know the latest before hand.
2. Knowing well the kind of met reporting we get from our met people and with our primary alt being SBZ. Would atc know if i tell them "negative alternate" would they know what that would mean. Since if the wx in kul is screwed likely sbz would be the same and i would rather hold if knowing kul will improve. In that case how soon can kul offer me an alternate rwy for landing? maybe from 14L to 14R or even 32L? It would safe us lots of money and time from diverting to SBZ.
