Hi John, I'll give that forum a go, thanks for that.
And yeah, I have also seen a lot of people on various forums complaining about the quality of the analysis. It just surprised me that no station in the UK (or anywhere in the world I checked outside of North America actually) seems to have it up and running, so I've been obsessively trying to get to the bottom of it. My CWOP station is FW8519 - (and meikleobney.net if you're interested :) ) Lewis On Friday, 6 November 2020 at 02:08:43 UTC [email protected] wrote: > A good place to ask is here: > https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?board=15.0 > > You may be disappointed when you do get his working as the reports have > been wacky for some time (although, very recently, they seem to be better). > > You don’t mention your station.
