To HAMs active in APRS in the Boston region:
I have started to gate from Firenet to RF relevant weather data from METAR
(mainly airports) and BUOY (mainly coastal area buoys) in the greater
Boston, MA (US) area. This area is mainly confined by the inside of the
I-485 semi-circle, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. I'm
not (yet) gating any river water gauge information. I was encouraged by the
FireNet people to gate local information for so far it's relevant and I'm
not clogging the channel. The list of gated objects is available on my
website below.
Most of these objects are updated about once every hour, and the total
traffic shouldn't significantly add to the channel load.
My questions to any users that are in RF reach or interested in this
information (via RF):
- is this useful? Would you want me to expand or restrict the area I'm
covering? Any particular WX beacons you are missing?
- please let me know if you feel the traffic generated by this is more than
your local channel can bear (which is not something I expect to happen)
- would you want me to gate additional information (such as river water
heights and flow speeds, etc)?
73s,
--Ramon

Hi I'm leaving 2100 L Saturday and plan on driving straight through from
Colorado Springs, CO. to Santa Barbara, CA. Then I'll load a tower and
antenna and drive the reverse.
