[wxqc] I'm a newbie...you've been warned :)

[Chris Flory]

Hello,

I am new to this mailing list and new to the weather station world.  I have
just joined CWOP, and have a weather station ID (CW6489).  I am really
excited about getting this going and sending my data to help in whatever way
I can.

A few questions if you don't mind responding to any/all.   I recently bought
my VP2 and set it up at my house to test.  The quickest I can get out to the
site is next week (9/23 at the latest):

1.	What is the length of time that the weather station can go before
being regarded as inactive?  Any problems getting it activated again?
2.	If, for example, number 1 question is a week or so, should I send
data from another location to keep it active?  I figure this would skew the
historical data.  
	
	A question for the NOAA persons on the list (perhaps you might have
some ideas):
	
3.	The station CW6489
<http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=CW6489&last=48&radar=***>  is
located in Murray, TX.  However, this location has no zip code, and does not
register when I enter it as a search for Murray, Texas in NOAA's website, it
is not found.  The closest town is Graham, TX.  What are the requirements to
have a town listed in the search database?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

-Chris
