Do you mean URL's for the sites you're talking about?

Look up in my area (north of Seattle).  H2O symbols, 11 of them
currently.  Also in AZ, near WA6OFT's QTH.

The problem so far with the gauge data is that we have to in a lot
of cases look up the coordinates elsewhere, then put them into the
script to merge with the data from the web pages.  That plus there
are a _lot_ of gages, and each one has it's own page.  We only need
the last reading for each page.  That's a lot of downloading to do
them all.  A summary page with each one on it's own line, including
coordinates, would have been too much to ask for I guess.

If we only had an SQL database to make queries to all this would
have been sooo much easier.
