[Xastir] How to get CWOP weather on APRS network

[Steven Morrison]

Thanks for the info. I'll investigate it further.  I'm running a Davis 
Vantage Pro 2, with Weewx reading the weather station console and 
forwarding the data to the NWS CWOP program. I should be able to create 
a report to create the wxnow.txt report.
