<p>Hi Ray,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>No problem!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for trying to find the files, we can stop looking now, about 30 seconds after I sent the email, I remembered web.archive.org, the Wayback Machine.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It has everything on file there which I am grabbing down now.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span>😊</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've got a few things I am working through fixing, but we may be able to jolt this back into life relatively quickly
<span>😊</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I reached out to Geoff Gatward who was the creator/original maintainer (to my knowledge) of the old WXSVR-AU service.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been doing some work on this over the past few days and seem to have it operating again.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is this a service everyone would be interested in returning to service?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In terms of functionality for those who can't remember:</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>Weather warnings from the BOM for
<ul>
<li>Severe Thunderstorm Warning<br>
</li><li>
<div>Road Weather Alert</div>
</li><li>
<div>Flood Watch or Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Severe Weather Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Fire Weather Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Sheep Weather Alert</div>
</li><li>
<div>Bushwalker Weather Alert</div>
</li><li>
<div>Frost Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Cyclone Watch or Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Fire Ban Advice</div>
</li><li>
<div>Marine Wind Warning</div>
</li><li>
<div>Brown Rot Advice</div>
</li><li>
<div>Downy Mildew Advice</div>
</li><li>
<div>Tsunami Threat Watch or Warnin</div>
</li><li>
<div>Aviation Lightning Warning</div>
</li></ul>
</li><li>Fire Incidents for VIC and NSW </li><li>Fire Danger Ratings for VIC<br>
</li><li>Fire Alerts & Community Warnings for NSW (VIC to come) </li><li>Marine warnings above only work for NSW, VIC, TAS and WA. Nothing for QLD or NT as yet
</li></ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In terms of enhancements, I think we can improve with:</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>Marine warnings for all states/territories </li><li>Fire incidents for all states/territories <span>(where we can, agencies seem to have a mixture of quality data...)</span>
</li><li>Fire Alerts & Community Warnings for all states/territories (where we can, agencies seem to have a mixture of quality data...)<br>
</li><li>Fire Danger Ratings for all states/territories (as above with fire alerts etc)
</li><li>Ability to have WXBOT style functionality for Australia (this would be cool for those on the road, especially on HF APRS to get their local weather observations & forecasts)
</li><li>Once we have a working platform again, work with our iGate operators to gate bulletins & alerts onto the network where appropriate. This would involve configuring appropriate filters to pass through (is this permitted however?)<br>
</li></ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are some challenges at the moment, the website for WXSVR-AU is gone and Geoff is tracking down what he can. One limit we have at the moment is a copy of the shapefiles. If anyone has these on record somewhere, please let me know. I'd very much appreciate
a starting point to work with.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers & 73s,</p>
