A Message to all registered members of CWOP,CWOP has grown far beyond the original expectations. This unexpectedgrowth has placed stress on the capability of the available internetresources. To remove that stress, we need to move some of our datacontributors to a different set of internet servers. The necessarydetails for this move are given below and are also linked under "APRSServers to Use" in the upper right of the main pages on the CWOP website, www.cwop.net. 1. What server should I use if my CWOP ID is CWxxxx or DWxxxx?- Use a server designator of "cwop.aprs.net" to send to the serversdesignated for CWOP use only.2. What server should I use if my CWOP ID is APxxx, ARxxx, ASxxx orATxxx?- Use a server designator of "rotate.aprs.net" or"rotatewx.aprs2.net" to send to the Core servers or the Tier 2servers.3. How can I check which servers I'm using?- Use the CWOP Search Tool at http://www.wxqa.com/search.htm to see the last packet you have sent over each of the past 10 days. If you see "FIRST" or "CORE-2" or "THIRD", you were using one or more of the core servers. If you see any name with "T2", you were using one or more of the Tier 2 servers. If you see "CWOP-1" or "CWOP-2" or "CWOP-3", you were using one or more of the servers designated for CWOP use.4. What port should I use?- Use port 14580, but if that does not work try port 23.5. How often should I send a data packet?- Every 9 minutes or LESS often, i.e. 10 minutes, 11 minutes,.....etc.6. Any special considerations?- Avoid always sending at multiples of 5 minutes from the top of thehour.Any changes to the CWOP recommendations will be posted to the CWOPnews page which is linked from the upper left of the main CWOP webpages. If you have any questions, let us know by sending them toruss at wxqa dot com and/or dave at wxqa dot info.Thanks again for contributing your data!Russ
