The site I was referring to, is:

I guess I could have said NWS as well.  Sorry for the confusion.

Regards,

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

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

Russ
