Topic: EW designator...

[AjaxKnights29]

I was given an EW designator when I signed up a while back. I finally have gotten to getting a meteobridge and sending data in. The data displays but I can't sign up for QC emails. It just says that my stations isn't well... A station. Is it because I don't have a CW/DW designator?

Define 'while back'.  EW doesn't matter if you don't get the QCs; you're part of the network.  My brother has an EW ident and he is able to see the QC page just fine.  It sometimes takes a while to get a baseline for the QC to start.

I got the email with my designator number on March 16, 2015 and started sending in data yesterday evening.

Yeah, it's going to be a while if you just started sending data in yesterday.  Check in a couple of weeks when you populate the data enough to get a baseline from which to compare to other stations in your area.

Figured it out. CWOP support hasn't activated my account yet. I wonder how long that will take. I emailed them and Philip Gladstone copied them in an email I sent him. I hope it doesn't take too long

I hope it doesn't take too long

If I recall correctly mine took more than a couple of days, but that may have changed since 2009.

I'm using my amateur radio callsign.  Even so, I recall sending an email on Friday morning the 8th and things were flowing into MADIS the next Wednesday the 13th.  Last week I saw things were going into Meso West smoothly, so allow ten days to two weeks for everything to settle in and be clicking along.

Just got an email saying that my station has been added to the CWOP database! They said that my data should start showing up on MADIS servers on Wednesday.

Don't expect any QC rating for 10-14 days maybe longer even though its in the server. It needs to have a period of data to examine.

[BigOkie]

Correct. It needs to gather baseline data and one day obviously won't cut it.

Probably good that it needs a while because I still need to move my station. It's to close to the shingles. BTW if anybody has a cheap but good way of mounting their station let me know!

That means your data is showing up on FINDU. MADIS updates its list of CWOP stations once per week, on Tuesday as I recall. After MADIS has been picking up your data the QC will start to populate. Unless something looks very wrong, don't panic, give it at least a month to see the real trends.
