I have been able to send RF messages to WXBOT and receive a reply back. Yesterday I sent out a "CQ" and got a reply from a US station. So I know that my system is working. But when I send a message to the WXSVR-AU server, with a request like "today", I can see that a reply message was returned, by looking on <a href="http://aprs.fi">aprs.fi</a> in the messages section, but I have yet to receive a reply back via RF. I have tried WXSVR-AU for a couple of days now with no success.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>My QTH station is VK3YPE-15 if anyone wants to send a "Gday".
