[aprssig] WX station transmit rate?

[scott at opentrac.org]

Doesn't help much when you've got a remote station, away from an Internet
connection.

Speaking of weather stations, does anything support the La Crosse stations
yet?  Are they any good?  Do they require a negative voltage to work?

If no one else has done it yet, I might add support to the OpenTracker if
anyone's interested.  For now it only supports the 1-wire station.  The
1-wire station has the advantage of being very light on power consumption -
works great for solar powered stations.  But the La Crosse stations are
probably a cheaper way to go if you want a larger set of sensors - AAG's
add-ons are pretty overpriced.

I think we had this discussion before... I wish I could find that old
email in which I asked about 1min WX reports going directly to the IS
and some other value on RF...

 From a mesoscale monitoring perspective, we'd LOVE to see 5 min...
or
even 1 min data.

 From an APRS/AX.25 network perspective, I'll take as often as I can
get
and hope for at least 15 min intervals...
