Hello - Longtime Weewx user trying to get his station on APRS (RF).
I'm using Direwolf and, ideally, would just like to get a wxnow.txt file that it can pick up. However, it appears that the original author of the cxwn extension may have pulled it down. I see a reference to another plugin - weewx-aprx - but I'm unable to locate that as well. Any assistance would be great! Thanks!
