That station registry is just a collection of people running weewx. That
is independent of Weather Underground or any other site.
The section you want for Weather Underground is this one. The station ID
and station key (which you enter here as password) you from Weather
Underground after you register your PWS.
[[Wunderground]]
# This section is for configuring posts to the Weather Underground.
# If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
# and specify a station (e.g., 'KORHOODR3') and password.
enable = true
station = KKYLOUIS186
# To guard against parsing errors, put your password in quotes:
password = "xxxxxxxxxxx"
# Set the following to True to have weewx use the WU "Rapidfire"
# protocol. Not all hardware can support it. See the User's Guide.
rapidfire = False
