Anyone have an archive of cancelled NOAA RNCs?

Everything Else

I would like to keep a copy of all (preferably most recent) NOAA RNCs, including the cancelled ones.
I see the cancelled ones are no longer available for download from NOAA.
A copy of an older NOAA All_RNCs.zip from before the cancellations started for the phase out of RNCs would be great. (It should be about 3GB).

Not for navigation, just for reference (and the artistic nature of them). I find the ENCs don’t have the same detail about place names, on shore construction, etc. and so I like to occasionally flip to the RNC view.

I think CE keeps them on board if they were downloaded earlier, they are just disabled from (default) view.
Unfortunately, in a fit of cleanup, I deleted all NOAA charts and re-downloaded them…

Thanks,
Tom

Did you ever find them?

We do not maintain an archive of all the older (cancelled) raster charts.

Hi Tom, if you need, I have All US RNCs - copy of 2020 Dec 07, I can share with you if you still need. Best regards, Chris

I have a similar set of (mostly) complete RNCs I pulled from the wayback machine when I realized a bit too late the problem. I’d like to look at yours and merge with mine, and of course offer the result back to you and any interested folks.

@Tom_Daly, pls just let me know how I can share them with you and I will send them for you. I also have ENCs (S-57?) set from that date if you want

Sorry, I posted then got busy with other things.
this folder should be accessible for uploading.

Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom! I confirm receipt, I will upload both (ENCs and RNCs) from 2020-12-07 soon (I am now out of the office, and my home Internet connection is a bit “moody”, so it might take some time). Cheers Chris

@Tom_Daly, all uploaded to the address you had given. I hope you will also be able to share a wider compilation :smiley:
