[Xastir] Weather Stations

[Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate]

It might be easier to run an instance of aprsc on another RPi3 and have
that allow you to get the data locally, as well as having the aprsc
instance talk to one (or more) of the servers...

That might break our round-robin paradigm, however. I'll have to cogitate
on that for a bit.

And so on to viscosity.”
