Can't find the CWOP stations
« on: July 07, 2012, 12:47:19 AM »
Looking at the list of available weather stations in my area, I'm not seeing any of the CWOP stations with ID numbers beginning with CW/DW/EW.  The APRS stations come up on the list (along with the WD stations and METARS).  Am I missing something, or are the CWOP stations not available?

Can you please give me some examples of stations you're expecting to see in your area?

I started with the list of CWOP's New Hampshire stations at http://www.wxqa.com/states/NH.html.  Drawing a 1 degree square box around me (42-43 N; 71-72 W), the first 20 stations on that list that CWOP says it has received data from recently are:

DW7853
DW8500
DW6325
W1WSQ
N1IW
DW9976
N1EDU
DW9353
CW5851
NM1W
DW7229
CW1984
CW0234
DW1133
CW0655
DW6839
EW0362
N1NAZ-1
DW5932
DW1770

When I use the WML configuration page drawing a box with the same lat/long, of those 20 stations, only W1WSQ and N1NAZ-1 appear as CWOP stations.  So even a couple of the APRS stations (N1IW, N1EDU,and NM1W) aren't there either.  Or I'm doing something wrong (which is likely).

EW0362 is me, and I'm also reporting as a WD station, so that data is there, but I don't seem to show up as a CWOP station.

Thanks for your help!

Try again in an hour or two.

It seems the CWOP data is now split with some available through one route and the rest via another route. I've added new code to read both routes and I'm seeing data for at least some of the stations you've listed. The database should fill up as the station reports are seen so in an hour or two you will hopefully find a lot more of the missing stations.
