*Hello,*
*Has been trying to get the "APRS WX Station with Raspberry Pi - Mitch
Ahrenstorff AD0HJ - 04/12/17" to work. The RTL433 part works and weewx
appears to be running but get the error "aprx: Failed to load anything from
beacon file /dev/shm/aprs.pkt". Also I can't see the html page that should
be in the "/home/weewx/public_html/index.html" that should be from my
station, all I see there is the Hood River, Oregon default page that came
with the download.*
*Looking at the aprx command line I do see traffic:*
