[wxqc] rotate.aprs.net

[Gerry Creager]

Long-delayed follow-up.

Dick, you detected a server error at core-2.  We got that restarted.  As 
a result of this, I've instituted a Nagios monitor of the core servers. 
  Ted Lum had been doing this to assist us, for which we're really 
appreciative, but I needed one I could hit routinely and add more 
notifications to, so we're now there.

We shold have better response to these, as things are going to on-call 
pagers as well as e-mail now.

Please advise if you see server problems.

AS a reminder (although I think I'm preaching to the choir):
1.  Licensed Amateur Radio Operators should use rotate.aprs.net or 
rotate.aprs2.net for servers, and should use their callsign as the id 
and their passcode for verification.
2.  Other CWOP members (and Hams who do NOT want their weather data 
available via APRS RF networks) should use cwop.aprs.net for their 
servers and their CWOP ID, with a passcode of -1 (or the default for the 
software you're using).

We aggregate all the weather data from the APRS-IS Core and the 
dedicated CWOP servers and submit it to MADIS for QC and dissemination.

Passcode questions/requests can come to me or Russ Chadwick.
