[Xastir] does CWOP filter get new DW stations?

[Eric Germann]

ok, feeling dumber yet answering my own question.

Is the logical answer to deploy a second instance of the APRS server SW 
here, take the firehose from CWOP's servers, then allow the internal 
clients to filter it to the region of interest?  Running it on linux, a 
second instance running on the same box shouldn't be an issue should it?

You can definitely tell the CWOP feed on the Xastir status line.  It's 
the one with the red arrow lit all the time :)  Sure makes the station 
names zing by also on the status line.
