Updating Grape 1 Legacy systems to upload to PSWS

[Radio Geek (Bill Engelke)]

As you may know, most Grape 1 Legacy (G1L) systems (running fldigi) upload collected data to the WWV Club Server. This puts a strain on that server, as it was not designed to handle this amount of data. So, we are starting into a process to add an uploader that will send data to the Personal Space Weather Network server at University of Alabama. 

• The update procedure has been tested by several users who report they has good luck with it (as always, your mileage may vary).
• We have a spreadsheet of the G1L stations with their email addresses. I will work down thru this list and contact each user individually with instructions and software.
• The URL of the PSWS server is going to change, depending on when the new server (being set up by our High Performance Computing team) is ready. I originally was going to wait until this was ready before working the G1L update, but the new server work is taking much longer than anticipated since the PSWS project is the very first project going into the new HPCC.This will necessitate one more change later, when the new server is ready.

Thanks for your patience with this, and I look forward to working with everyone with this set of updates.
