I've activated WXSVR-AU and it is working 😊 with some fixes due to changes in BOM, NSW RFS, VicEmergency etc. Biggest challenge was the massive learning curve and mixture of "what was previously done" and now. Key items for awareness: UIView32 is dead with
shapes for BOM areas. Geoff made a change some time ago to stop using the NWS Format for events, so we don't cause confusion on the network. I don't plan on hacking WXSVR-AU to make it work with older clients that only do NWS weather bulletins. Seemed to be
a lot of debate on this in the US APRS mailing lists years ago around this. Xastir has implemented functionality in line with this change. I am planning on reaching out to APRSISCE for Windows Users. Shape files have
<b>changed</b>, the BOM changed these some time ago and have moved away from the method and format they previously used. This means new dbfawk files are needed for Xastir. It also means get-BOMdata no longer works as well. The shapes are available, but filenames
have changed and content has changed as well, hence why we need different dbfawk files. The good news is that Xastir doesn't necessarily need development changes. Just that certain files need to be renamed - e.g. IDM00001.shp becomes gfe_public_weather.shp
etc. gfe_metro_areas.shp is retired. The old WXSVR-AU was very reliant on using LGA's (Local Government Areas) in NSW for Fire Incidents. I've changed this and have coded in functionality to take the Latitude/Longitude from the fire incidents, tie it to a
forecast area and send it out that way. This is done by finding the forecast shape that the fire incident is within. The end goal is to include incidents from all Fire Agencies Australia wide, all publish the Latitude/Longitude, but not the LGA - hence the
need to make this change to map it back to forecast area. NSW Fire Incidents will trigger a Weather Bulletin for incidents that have community warnings associated to them for Advice, Watch and Act, Emergency Warning. Victorian fires do not have this functionality,
yet. This also makes setting up iGates much, much easier.<br>

Fire Danger Ratings: Only available for all of Victoria at this stage. Objects created for all rating levels from Low-Moderate through to Code Red (or Catastrophic, depending on your state). These are positioned in the centre of the zone based on the "centreoid"
of the zone - essentially the middle position taking into consideration that our zones are not circles and follow natural land edges. Low-Moderate & High will not result in an output for a weather warning but will output an object giving the FDR. Very High,
Severe will result in a Weather Watch with object giving the FDR Extreme and Catastrophic (or Code Red) will result in a weather warning with object giving the FDR.<br>

New Implementation Detail:<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
Source callsigns have the format of ZZZxxx, ZZZ is a 3 letter code assigned for the forecast zone, xxx is the product type - this is assigned by the WXSVR and doesn't match any BOM names unfortunately.
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
BOM use 8 digit values (e.g. NSW_PW001 is a zone), meaning we then lose the ability to include the product type (meaning people can't filter particular products). Not to mention it is too long I believe for AX25 packets and breaks the format. If people want
to gate the data onto RF, they would allow anything with the callsign starting with their respective forecast area. This will then gate weather warnings, fire danger ratings and fire incidents onto the air. I will publish the zone codes next week sometime
when I replicate the data a bit more. WXBot like functionality: Not available as yet, I am working on this.

</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
I found the source for the US Version of WXBot and plan to use this as a basis and enhance it for Australia.
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
I am thinking it will have the same callsign as WXSVR-AU, meaning we can eventually provide "finger" functionality to obtain more information from the original bulletin.

Just wondering, how did you handle those FDR objects? Did you do them as polygons or as points?<br>
<br>
</div>

I've noticed there is very limited support nowdays around NWS/BOM alerts in ARPS products. The original version of the weather alerts in WXSVR-AU used NWS objects and we'd upset our friends in the united states. It also meant we had to hack around with modified
shape files to make it all work.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
Xastir seems to work with the BOM shape files with the BOM based notifications, which means we have a more uniformed setup and we don't need to handcraft shape files.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
Another option I am thinking of for some situations are publishing polygon objects instead.<br>

In terms of enhancements, I think we can improve with:<br>

Marine warnings for all states/territories Fire incidents for all states/territories (where we can, agencies seem to have a mixture of quality data...) Fire Alerts & Community Warnings for all states/territories (where we can, agencies seem to have a mixture
of quality data...)<br>

<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
Fire Danger Ratings for all states/territories (as above with fire alerts etc) 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) 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>

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.<br>
