[wxqc] Mass notices!

Sat Mar 1 13:29:31 CST 2008

Russ/Philip,
Everyone who signs up for CWOP does so with an email address.  Is it 
possible to automate this list for "mandatory" updates/notices?
It has come up before as a suggestion but I never saw anyone comment or 
respond to it.

What about a "Header" on the Quality reports that go out daily?

Just trying to help.

Thanks...

>> Folks,
>>
>> We're not seeing much traction in moving from the APRS servers to the
>> CWOP-dedicated servers.  I want to encourage everyone with a CW or DW
>> id to change their server info to point to cwop.aprs.net using ports
>> 23 or 14580.  The three servers in that round-robin DNS rotation are
>> dedicated to CWOP use, and CWOP CW/DW weather information will not go
>> to the APRS-IS core servers.  It WILL be harvested by FindU and WILL
>> get to MADIS.
>>
>> There will be a new domain, cwopwx.org, that will also have the same
>> server addresses soon.  This is an attempt to get CWOP more autonomy
>> in the future.
>>
>> If you're not an Amateur Radio operator, please change your server
>> destination to cwop.aprs.net.  The servers and code have been tuned to
>> perform CWOP data aggregation and collection only, rather than the
>> full gamut of functions required on the APRS-IS.  These are *our*
>> servers and making a migration to them will help us all in the long run.
>>
>> For what it's worth, I've got the CWOP1.tamu.edu (CWOP-1) and
>> aprs.tamu.edu (first.aprs.net) servers as well as managing the servers
>> for firenet.us and the CWOP.tamu.edu aggregation server.  I also am
>> the culprit if there are problems with CWOP-2 and CWOP-3, as I make
>> most of the changes on them so that their sysops are not overburdened
>> with additional tasks.
>>
>> We thank the Tier2 folks for their support, as well as the APRS-IS
>> Core sys ops.  We need to make this transition to two separate server
>> pools and services, though, for some good technical reasons.
