[aprssig] Clarification of APRS weather station data flow.

[clayj at nwlink.com]

Eric - the NWS actually has very little direct involvement in APRS WX. 
They pull data from the APRS_IS data streams as "just another source".

You can take a look at the Citizen Weather Observer site
(http://www.wxqa.com/) for a bunch of good information
