Verified that the last line when brought into Xastir displays nicely as a
tornado object with an area of concern polygon nearby. I don't know why
you didn't receive it, assuming you were on an internet feed.
The NWS-WARN line already expired, 'cuz it didn't show up in the weather
alert list when brought in from a log file. I played with it a bit more,
changing the 072200z to 092200z (expiration tomorrow) to make sure it
displayed ok. It did.
Was a 072200z expiration proper for the weather alert? That would be 2200z
on the 7th of the month.

How often are they sent out ? I am thinking that I possibly lost my DSL
connection and did not notice. The impact point was on the other side of
town, far enough away but we still felt the storm that created the tornado.
Everything in this area is above ground so it is VERY likely that I lost my
internet for a little while.
I have pager notification on my server but currently have it shut off, I
will check to see if my log files show anything.

I remember working 4U??IARU in a VHF contest back in the late 1980's early
90's from Geneva.
I can't remember the digits (poss. 75) but It played havok with my (home
written) contest logging system at the time !
I guess it will become more common.

I just bought PIC-E few weeks ago and I am trying to test it using yaesu
radio, Kenwood TNC radio and hyperterminal. I can hear the received audio
signal through Kenwood radio but I am not getting any strings on
hyperterminal.
Did anyone had any experience with the setup I am using? Whats the best way
of testing PIC-E?

Rich & All-
My log shows the packets going out 11 times during the 29 minutes of the
warning. The way it works-
1. Transmitted immediately on receipt
2. Tornados have a 60 second initial delay - then 1.25 times the last
delay until expiration
If the emwin stream retransmits it 5 times (for example) - add 5 to the
number of times the math would say it would be transmitted. This is so
that if something fouls up the wxsvr retransmission engine- it will
still have some re-transmissions. Are you using a filter on your
aprs-is feed?

KC0CGH did not answer my email yesterday sent to the address listed at
qrz.com. Since I've gotten 4 more complaints about bad packets from his
IGate, I've gone to the unusual step of filtering all packets containing
KC0CGH from findU.com. If anyone has a way to contact him, please let him

Subject: more on the amber alert in MA

Well, contrary to some other people's experience, the amber alert mechanism
seemed to work reasonably well in Shrewsbury.
It came on the cable system (all channels) initially with the same message
everyone else seemed to have on their cable system "civil alert message"
(the time of this seemed to be about the same time that was reported in
newspaper for the time of the alert).
I was surprised to see a statewide alert. However I knew that there were
wx warnings out previously and expected a weather event and I went and
checked my NWS SAME receiver. There was indeed a flash flood warning active
at the time so I started to listen to that radio (assuming it was related
to the alert). Before I heard the audio details of the flood warning (a
couple minutes) my TV audio was switched to WTAG in Worcester (one of the
EBS broadcasters) at full volume (obviously a feature of the cable box).
At that time a WTAG broadcaster gave out info on the alert. After the
announcement the TV returned to normal. Several minutes later the same
scenario happened again with updated (more detail) info from WTAG. This
happened perhaps 4 times before it went away around 10:30PM.
The cable system in Shrewsbury is a municipally owned system.
I was actually pretty surprised it all worked as well as it did......

A couple of days a go we had such an alert here in the SE corner of Iowa,
The manufacturing facility where I work has a SAME receiver tied into the
fire/tornado alarm system, so the whole building got to hear the alert.
When I got home, my SAME receiver just said "Unspecified Alert, Tune TV".
I never heard anything on the local news or read anything else about it in the
paper.
The "Amber" Alert concept is a good idea, but I really hope people don't get
too carried a with getting all sorts of extra SAME alerts approved. It will
result in people ignoring important warnings.

What a dumb dumb, no one even spotted it.
I was plugged in the "PC" port.
I needed to be plugged into the "GPS" port.
What is interesting, is that the THD7 put out something on packet mode, I
will capture that later, but here is the 4800 from the thd7a from the GPS
port at 4800 n81.

This evening I made contact with KC0CGH by telephone. The situation
with the corrupted packets has been resolved by disabling data feed/3rd
party messaging to the internet servers.
If anyone notices anything else out of the ordinary, please let me know!
