[Xastir] Gating weather data to RF

[Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate]

If you've registered for CWOP... and for that matter if you haven't
registered yet... send your data into either the APRS-IS or to CWOP servers
directly. Gating them to RF is also reasonable, assuming you, unlike my
last location have folks who don't mind seeing weather packets show up
on-air.

To get info on joining CWOP, go to http://wxqa.com/SIGN-UP.html and follow
the instructions for ham operators. You can connect to your local Tier2
server, rotate.aprs2.net (Tier2 round-robin DNS), or rotate.aprs.net, the
APRS Core server round-robin.
