I was thinking along the same lines (as Jim).  There are _way_ too
many stations to do that with.  Stick to just stations for your
local area.  If someone wants all of them, have them do an internet
connection.  If they want more objects yet, connect up to firenet.

If you have a separate RF network just for weather, particularly a
9600baud or faster network, then it might be feasible to put weather
objects on there.
