Bear in mind that the CWOP network is for weather stations _without_ amateur radio licenses, so they will not be forwarded to the regular APRS-IS network (which could be re-transmitted to RF by transmit-capable I-gates). Note that aprs.fi (which is _not_ the APRS-IS backbone, but merely a client of the backbone) is also a client of the CWOP network and several other non-amateur-radio networks (such as the marine AIS network), which is why aprs.fi can display CWOP stations.
So this is fully expected behavior if your YAAC instance is connected to the amateur-radio APRS-IS backbone but your weather station isn't. Hope this helps.

OK Andrew...thanks for the detailed explanation. 73, Jerry On Sun, Jan 19, 2025 at 4:16?PM Andrew P. via <andrewemt=[email protected]> wrote: Bear in mind that the CWOP network is for weather stations _without_ amateur radio licenses, so they will not be forwarded to the regular APRS-IS network (which could be re-transmitted to RF by transmit-capable I-gates).

The CWOP network was originally named APRSWXNET when it was formed in Sept 2000.? The purpose was to provide amateur radio operators a way to send their real-time weather data to NOAA.? This effort was successful and soon non-hams became interested and the network was renamed CWOP (Citizen Weather Observer Program) and a way for non-hams to send in weather data was provided.? It was?recommended that the :@ packet format be used to send weather data to CWOP.? You can see the previous ten days of traffic from CWOP members using the :@ packet format here: and the traffic from hams using the :@ packet format?here, Note that many hams send their weather data to CWOP servers.? Also, many hams use different?packet formats to send in their weather data and you can see them here (note that hams here also send data to CWOP servers): Other received (supposedly erroneous) packets are here, More information about CWOP traffic from hams and non-hams is here, and information about?the CWOP solar radiation data base here, All the CWOP weather data flows directly from the CWOP and APRS core servers to NCEP (National Center for Environmental Prediction).

Russ - Thanks for the added clarification on CWOP.? I was certain it was for hams initially, and I understand the addition of non-ham submitters to CWOP would cause problems if their weather data was propagated by ham digipeaters. Yours and Andrew's replies to my query makes the subject crystal clear. Tnx and 73 Jerry On Mon, Jan 20, 2025 at 4:06?PM Russ Chadwick via <russ4cwop=[email protected]> wrote:
