[OZAPRS] Gating WX to RF

[David Hardy]

 OK all thanks for the pointers.  I consulted the javAPRSFilter Users
Guide and did some tests by telneting to a server.

By default WX stations are filtered out. If I turned on WX stations with
a  filter t/w  I get all WX world wide. Not what I wanted. If I used the
filter f/vk2nh-1/100  I got my WX reports. But only within 100 km of the
current pos of vk2nh-1.

Would be good to be able to combine the filter  t/w  and range or call
prefix filter to get all VK wx. Will investigate further.

Dave,

What I do in Kempsey, where I'm one half of the permanent aprs
population, is permit certain callsigns/objects to go to RF,
specifically,
5 vk2 stations of special interest
all space objects
MNC, NTR & NTL weather alerts
6 BoM airport weather stations of interest in this area/region.

FWIW, I use a combination of shell script and Perl to get and process
the data, and then feed it to xastir for uploading.
