It's really too bad the wheel needs to be reinvented. I have appreciated the services that WXSVR has given us over the years. While I understand the time, money, and effort involved with maintaining a feature such as WXSVR, it sure would be nice for the folks on the development side to offer the platform for someone else to host if they feel they no longer want to support it. Was the code so proprietary that it could not be transferred to another server? I'm sure there are dozens of us if not more who would be more than willing to host WXSVR.<br>
<br>I mean no disrespect to any software developers, but if you're going to develop an application for Ham Radio, and software and systems are designed around that application, then I think an effort should be made to allow the service to continue after you are through. At any rate, what else can we do?<br>

The alert zone problem is being worked on. Depending on your client<br>
they may be working now. Additional clients may start lighting up<br>
zones during the next day or so. Thank you Pete!<br>
