How do I change the CWOP server that I connect to?

[Michael Connors]

My station always connects to CWOP-3 and it has been down now for several days.  Is there a way that I can have weewx connect randomly to one of the servers that are up and running correctly?

Thanks,

Mike, NA5SS-13

Looks as though you should be using cwop.aprs.net

http://www.wxqa.com/servers2use.html

It's recommended now that you use rotate.aprs.net:14580

Here is my CWOP section

[[CWOP]]

        # This section is for configuring posts to CWOP.

        # If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,

        # and specify the station ID (e.g., CW1234).

        enable = true

        station = KB1PVH-13

        post_interval = 600

        log_success = True

        log_failure = True

        server_list = rotate.aprs.net:14580, rotate.aprs2.net:14580, cwop.aprs.net:14580, cwop.aprs.net:23

        passcode = your_passcode_here

Dave - I thought the rotate servers were only for use if you have a validation code, whilst the cwop.aprs.net should be used without the validation code - or is the link I posted out of date??

Andrew,

For the Amateur radio operators they recommend using rotate to spread the load out on the servers, it's kinda like a backdoor into the APRS system. I can provide him with an APRS passcode if he doesn't already have one.

Dave - that was my point exactly - if an ham use rotate, if not a ham use cwop.aprs.net - but no need to specify cwop-3 specifically, which was his problem as cwop-3 is currently down.  I posted the link so others know the correct route to follow and how to obtain the validation code if they are ham operators.

Andrew,

Correct. I should probably wait until the coffee kicks in before answering questions, LOL.

Mike,

Do you have an APRS passcode? I can generate one for you if needed.

Dave,

    Can you email me privately at pau...@ve1dx.net as I have a Ham related question that is not relevant to this forum?  I won't be around until tomorrow (Monday, 12 Dec) so no rush.
