[OZAPRS] WXSVR-AU

[Peter Edrupt]

Thanks for your replies Jack VK3FJTS and Peter VK3AJ.

Jack, that was my thinking on this. Hopefully Peter, you may find a
solution to it.

It would be good to know if any others are receiving the WXSVR-AU reports
via RF. As I mentioned, the WXBOT works, but is limited here in Oz to
airport METARS.

For me, this is just another interesting part of our hobby, but others
might be interested in the WX service when they are out camping or the like.

Thanks again & 7 3, de Pete VK3PYE / VK3YPE
