The report timing mechanism has no involvement with any skin code, it simply looks at the report_timing option and the timestamp of the current record and determines whether to call the skin or not.
Mike, can you set debug = 1 in weewx.conf then restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for 15 minutes and post a log extract showing at least two consecutive report cycles, in this case the report cycle portion rather than the startup portion of the log is important.
