The uploading of the data for someone else's use is a secondary issue to 
me. The NWS may use some of the data, but the local television stations 
don't. 

...

One thing to keep in mind in all of this is that the majority of amateur 
stations are in urban areas, not sitting on large lots, so the ideal 
placement of equipment is very hard to attain.  I do the best I can with 
what I have, and the restrictions of the area, and that is all that any 
of us can do or ask for.

Rich,

Maybe TV stations in your viewing area don't use citizen weather data, but
in some parts of the country they do.

Also, in some cases, amateur weather stations in urban areas are ideally
suited for certain applications of interest.  See the June 6 item here,
