Hi Dave,
I have fixed my forecast issue as I mentioned on the Google
groups. Also I'm now using VE1DX for my CWOP uploads, thanks to you
giving me the passcode and suggesting I use the server rotation. I used
to be EW8606 for a year or so, and I really disliked not using my call.
That's fixed. Oh, any reason to use a SSID? I am just using VE1DX, not
VE1DX-13 or anything else. I seem to recall the SSID was important back
in the packet radio days (I ran a DX Cluster for 13 years until 2015.)
I gave up DXing last year and sold all my HF gear . . . even the 2m
stuff is gone. No more CW, SSB, RTTY, Packet, etc. It's the 21st
century. I had them all worked and confirmed on HF anyhow, on multiple
bands and modes, so couldn't see the point of listening to hissing and
static to get one more band country.
Also, yesterday I really drilled down into the guts of weewx and
learned a ton. I just needed the incentive. Your postings are very
helpful. I find many of the other topics really advanced . . . and
while they now make sense, I didn't want to try to "start" at the PhD
level. Those guys are really sharp, but I find the group not very
conducive to beginners. I came from a group headed by AA6YQ (also in
MA, in spite of the 6 call) who wrote and maintained a suite of logging
software called DX Labs. The attitude there was "The only stupid
question was the one you didn't ask" as opposed to "Didn't you read the
documentation 12 times before posting that question?" It weeds out
those with little interest, but it can put off a lot of people who
*really* don't understand the system. It's a great project (weewx), but
it's not something you can jump into and make sing and dance easily.
The learning curve is steep, in my opinion.
Anyhow, I home you are not an MIT PhD, or I've probably said too much!
73, Paul VE1DX
