THE WEATHER AT THE NANTUCKET AIRPORT WAS BELOW THE PRESCRIBED MINIMA FOR THE ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 24. A BLANKET BROADCAST HAD BEEN MADE ON THE AIR TRAFFIC FREQUENCIES THAT THE NANTUCKET WEATHER WAS BELOW THE MINIMA FOR MOST USERS AND, THEREAFTER, THE CONTROLLER PROVIDED THE PILOT WITH THE WEATHER AT HIS DESTINATION. THE PILOT WAS CLEARED FOR THE ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 24 BUT REPORTED A MISSED APPROACH AFTER PASSING THE OUTER MARKER. THE CONTROLLER ADVISED THE PILOT TO REMAIN ON THE RUNWAY HEADING AND CONTACT DEPARTURE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE FLIGHT.
