As I say, my end of the system is functioning correctly.

Doing a quick eyeball of the current situation, it seems the tier 2  
guys have added another layer to their system, arizona connects to a  
tier 2 core server, and only from there does it go to the core of the  
APRS IS. Because so much weather data was sent directly to arizon, I  
used to have a connection directly to it, but that has now been blocked.

You need to take this up with the Arizona and Tier 2 guys, they are  
uninterested in my opinions. In the mean time, I would suggest, as I  
always do, that weather stations use rotate.aprs.net on port 23. This  
will connect you directly to the core, is fault tolerant, and has far  
less chance for failure.
