[wxqc] Weatherlink Upload

[Milford Weather]

I have had many issues with VWS and use work a around whenever possible.  To
schedule reboots I use System Scheduler by Splinterware and point it at
Reboot32.exe, that comes with VWS (in the setup folder).  This allows me to
schedule a reboot at any interval I feel is necessary, and best of all, both
programs are free.

Both my sites are hung uploading somewhere. Couldn't tell where, as 

the one where I'm at wouldn't repaint, and the other one is 350 miles 

away. It took a kill and restart to fix this end; I might have to 

wait a week or two to fix the other one, unless it's eventually 

self-correcting. (I wonder about a way to reboot the system on a 

weekly basis in an automated fashion. Running XP Pro, in case someone 

has an idea.) My hunch is that one of the upload sites has a problem, 

and some versions of WeatherLink will recover, while others will not.
