APRS weather coding, Zones Re: [BARC-List] Re: Severe weather via non-voice modes?

[Bill N1VUX]

Thanks Ramon!

Ah yes, objects. So on FINDU each kind of bulletin is a different "callsign". 

I find local KBOX has issued two kinds that have gotten on APRS lately.
SVR -- Severe thunderstorms  and similar
 http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?call=boxsvr 
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=BOXSVR&start=512&length=512&time=1
FFS -- Flash Flood Statement and similar
 http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/msg.cgi?call=boxffs
 http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=BOXFFS&start=512&length=512&time=1
I expect TORnado and Hurricane statements would go on others?

If he's worried about net outtages, he can scan the local APRS stream from a
radio with his PERL or VB, which is what he was looking for the datastream for
initially.

You can find the Mass County and Zone numbers on the Taunton website
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/er/box/ .

Two or three new zones in New England debuted last month ... the Middlesex
county pan-handle has been split off of Middlesex, did the outline file get
updated?  NW M'sex is MAZ026 in MAC017.

South Berkshire is MAZ025, split from MAZ001 in MAC003.
