Hi Vic-
Wxsvr attempts to connect to 6 of the aprs-is (aprs internet servers) 
full-time. If it looses connection  it will retry every 10 minutes.  The 
aprs-is servers trade information so the data is generally on them no 
matter if wxsvr is connected directly or not.

I don't understand the question- are you talking about the source code, 
a connection or what?

Yes you should have seen them if you were connected to an internet aprs 
server.
