Hi Gerry ; Roger on your doings with rotate.aprs.net. Will let you know when I see erratic flow. As you have had contact with Davis WeatherlinkIP I hope they find a way to add the Hams verification numbers to the packets they send to rotate.aprs.net.when it becomes mandatory or we won't be able use rotate.aprs.net. with IP .I have been using IP for two months now and its great not to have a computer in the loop 24/7 .Also I hope they can add gusts & 24hr rain to the packets in the future as lack of these also limit the non-ham cwop station reports using IP.
Thanks much for all your dedication on this system to keep it going. Also I really enjoy your 96hr forecast surface wind page. Great forecasting tool especially for sailors. Dick w4ake
