A friend of mine would like to program a PIC to encode some weather vane
information and a temperature sensor. This will not be a full WX station but
multiple ones along the coast since he is a boater/diver. He has several of
these units on hand and programs PICS for a living.
Where can I point him to the current APRS Beacon weather format? His plan is
to do the A/D then have the PIC format it to a APRS string and send that
every X minutes to a TNC in converse mode or in a $BOB format <grin> so he
can use a KPC3 if he wants.
I know it was in the APRS DOS docs many years ago but I don't have DOS APRS
anymore.

Hi Richard
Have him go to the following URL.
http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/Faprswg.html
and then download the APRSspec.
In there he will find the weather format he is looking for.
Let us hope we never witness the "Silence Of The Hams"

findu has been down since Saturday. Is there an ETA for its return? Can
anyone confirm what I am seeing.

try www1.findu.com... www2.findu.com and www.findu.com timeout when trying.
Something's busted.
Still trying to figure out what.

I turned on my web server, but I am not sure how to let the outside world
see it. I have a NAT firewall and my ISP does too. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Check for port forwarding in your firewall box. You should be able to map
an incoming port to the web server port on APRSPLUS.
As for the ISP NAT scheme - this might work. Or you might have to contact
them. Or get an ISP that doesn't protect the world from you.
I'd suggest using port 14501. Then when you are connected to one of the
APRS-IS servers and somebody clicks on your IP address, they'll go right to
your APRS web page.

No idea what happened, it is up now, but looks like it rebooted. Guess we
need guy to say what was wrong. Guess I need to make the change-over for
the primary server to loadshare, even though the database isn't as full as
I'd like...

I saw the email just before noon central time. I called the colo site
and had them reboot findu2. It was showing a kernel panic. I have
verified that access to findu2 has returned.

I have that port forwarded through my firewall. I know what my IP is on the
far side of my firewall, but I think 10.0.2.36 is a private IP too and gets
translated again to something???????????
Unless I get my ISP to give me a fixed IP I am not sure how to deal with
this. Can someone try pinging me? Also try upstairs.torrcom.net, but I have
no idea if their DNS is registering my hostname.

This is actually quite concerning...in the three years I've been running
servers with findU, I've never had a kernel panic. I've changed the name
server to load share www.findu.com between the two servers, so if one goes
down the other will take the load automatically.
This may give some unpredictable results, as the two servers have different
databases...in particular the primary machine has a large gap prior to 2/4
when it arrived at its new site.
You can force the queries to the backup server using www2 if you need data
from this time.

I just found another problem, somehow the backup server's clock got set
incorrectly, the result being all data since it came back up has an
incorrect timestamp. I've switched www to only point at the primary server,
I'll do what I can to reset the database. Sorry for the problem...
