Rarely. I hang onto NWS files for years. County boundaries don't actually change very often, and the other alert boundaries in my area don't change often, either, and when they do it doesn't *really* make much difference for the amount of information displayed concerning weather alerts. So I usually don't waste time downloading them. Curt does it often mostly to make sure the get-NWSdata script continues to work (which is really important for new users to get their first batch of files). I update the FCC database every couple of blue moons. Usually when I do an FCC lookup and it comes back with "callsign not found." -- Tom Russo KM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
