<pre>Ray,
Please feel free to post this response back to the TAPR group
It's not a "Future Lookalike" system - it's a NOW lookalike system :-)
WXSVR-AU was developed using the exact same protocol as the US WXSVR system.
Therefore, the stream meets the criteria to be filtered by the NWS filter on
the APRS-IS servers (t/n).
We checked with several sources in the USA closely linked to the WXSVR
system before we let WXSVR-AU loose, and the proviso on duplicating the
protocol was that we ensure that there are no overlaps of either the CWA
prefix or State abbreviations - this ensures that AU data does not trigger
false beacons in the US (Which is why WA is WX in our system)
The WXSVR (USA) data probably disappeared for a while because that server
went down, leaving only the -AU data matching the filter :-)
Cheers,
Geoff VK2XJG

I've cross-posted this from the TAPR group. Anyone know anything about it?

I took my APRS UIview websever down for about 12 hours yesterday to do
some major patching and updating of the OS and drivers. When I
restarted it about 1:00 AM Pacific time and reconnected to
second.aprs.net:14580 , no WXSVR data for the NWS overlays on my US
map at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439"><http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439></a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439"><http://wa8lmf.dyndns.org:14439></a>
seemed to be coming from the server. However, a continuous flow of
stuff apparently gated by "WXSVR-AU" which appeared to refer to places
in Australia WAS showing up in my raw data stream. I had made no
changes in my filter port settings; i.e. was still using the *t/n*
filter port switch.
Is someone testing a future work-alike to the NWS overlays for
Australia?
Some hours later, the usual US feed of WXSVR data for the US shape file
overlays resumed.
What's going on ???
