Chris,

It takes over 6 months of not receiving any data before a registered
CWOP station is classified as inactive.

CW6489, located in Murray, TX is listed in the APRSWXNETStation.txt file
and so is registered so that data will flow to NOAA

http://www.wxqa.com/APRSWXNETStation.txt

When you say "NOAA's website", what URL are you referring to?
