I send my stuff everywhere.

After doing some research, I was able to find my "reference" station I'm being compared to, which is an airport about 8 miles from my house.

I use the data I send to WU for all kinds of things, it's like my own database server. I have scripts that retrieve and graph my data, I have a page for AmericanWX forum for member personal weather stations, etc. CWOP I only use to make sure what I'm sending is valid data.

WU will drop you like a rock for invalid data or data that doesn't pass QC.

Are you talking about the CWOP/MADIS station you're compared to? If so, how did you find that?

Thanks.

I didn't find it, I did some research by looking at the data from the closest METAR stations to find the one that matched my reference station. I don't have many too many METAR stations around my location so it was fairly easy.

I got lucky!  :grin:

I myself upload to both. The more sites the merrier. VWS has both WU and CWOP in it, why wouldn't users of VWS send to both. Doesn't hurt to do.
Thanks.

I disseminate my wx data everywhere that'll accept it.
Weatherlink dot com, user = wxtech
CWOP/APRS = CW2074 and it also gets feeds through Weatherlink dot com
WeatherUnderground = KGALEXIN1 and it also gets feeds through Weatherlink dot com
WeatherUnderground rapid fire
PWS = KGELEXIN1 www.pwsweather.com
www.lexingtonwx.com
Although not from the station equipment, I send daily data to NWS Coop WxCoder, and to CoCoRaHS GA-OG-1.
APRS was probably the first weather data site second only to NWS Coop stations.

Hi Mike, I report to both, WU and CWOP along with a few others.  Always messing around  with this raspberry pi.

Al Washington. Al is an older gentleman here on Georgia and I'm just hoping he's still around! :-) His last reply to this post was 7 years ago, so who knows!

"WU will drop you like a rock for invalid data or data that doesn't pass QC"

Not true here in northwest Ohio.

WU has stations on the site that are sometime ten degrees off from the real calibrated stations, and even reporting them will not get them remove from the site.

Steve, I'm still hanging on.  I don't have much to say.  I am finishing a VP/VP2 anemometer testing project to be shared on the Forum.

Hey Al! Great to see you and hope you're doing well!
Like you, I'm largely absent here myself, just too busy most of the time. Glad to hear you're still tinkering with weather stuff though. My good news is I retire November 30th! Won't be long now! :-)
