[aprssig] Where are myweather warnings??? -OR- Why your UINWS/UI-View32 isn't brokeand the current APRS-IS wx server is working correctly.

[Gerald Creager]

Getting the old server up looks lost. Getting a new server up running 
the same software would still require significant code changes since the 
wayy watches and warnings are disseminated has changed.

I'm in a lot of turmoil with things at work, but trying to get something 
compatible rigged up is on my list. If someone wants to contact me 
off-list and discuss this, I'm open.
