    <div>Hi Pete,</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>I was receiving replies from WXSVR-AU
      last Friday via VK1RGI. <br>
    </div>
    <div>Not all igates are configured for
      messaging unfortunately. <br>

        <div>Jack, that was my thinking on this. Hopefully Peter, you

        <div>It would be good to know if any others are receiving the
          WXSVR-AU reports via RF. As I mentioned, the WXBOT works, but

          <div>For me, this is just another interesting part of our

                    <div>Since the reply messages are being generated
                      (as evidenced by <a href="http://aprs.fi" target="_blank">aprs.fi</a>)
                      - it seems WXSVR-AU is functioning with no issues.
                      From a quick lookup on that site I notice you're
                      getting heard by VK3RSA-1, perhaps this iGate is
                      configured to prevent TXing those particular
                      messages?</div>

                        </div>
                        <div>I'm new to this list and the APRS system in
                          general.</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Question if I may:</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Does anyone know if there is a technical
                          reason why I am not receiving back to my QTH,
                          messages from WXSVR-AU ?  In other words, is
                          there a problem with that service?</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Explanation -- I have APRSIS32 setup on my
                          Win 8.1 PC using Direwolf v1.6 via my 2M set. 
                          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" target="_blank">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.</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>My QTH station is VK3YPE-15 if anyone wants
                          to send a "Gday". I will be playing with APRS
                          for a few days to see how this goes.</div>
