FINDU Network unreachable...

The FINDU (CWOP station display information) network appears to be unreachable, at least for some. The mailing list has indicated the following:

The main findu server is being moved someplace else, as the owner, Steve Dimse, is starting a new job in a few weeks and is having someone else take over.

The backup server is supposed to be online, but according to Steve,
it can barely handle even half of the load. So expect findu to be
marginal, at best, until the main machine is available again.

Currently I cannot reach them however there has been a notice posted for some time that work was going to be taking place…

Just a heads up for anyone trying to reach “findu”

Just got an update…

From: Steve Dimse

The main findu server is being moved someplace else, as the owner,
Steve Dimse, is starting a new job in a few weeks and is having someone
else take over.

Not exactly. The server is being forced to move because the ISP that
hosted it for the last year or so is being forced out of business. I
am not giving up administration of findU, in fact I’m raising money to
buy a new server, so the backup is capable of handling the load.

The server is online, but it can handle three simultaneous connections
vs. 40 for the primary machine. Hopefully things will get back to
normal tomorrow…

Thanks for the update Bob - hope we don’t loose CWOP

Maybe a little fund drive is in order? Can you get in contact with Steve?

I think there’s another site like FINDU where you can get CWOP data. I can’t remember what it’s called now though or how I found it.

I just have the Mailing List address and the signup address, which did respond for me this morning:
http://pond1.gladstonefamily.net:8080/mailman/listinfo/wxqc

http://www.met.utah.edu/cgi-bin/devel/meso_station.cgi?area=1

I found the above link which appears to list all of the CWOP stations and maybe more LOL

I also believe I have come across something similar to FINDU at one point. Seems to me it was associated with a midwestern college, not sure…

Utah.edu…

No it wasn’t that one. It may have been http://aprsworld.net/, but I didn’t bookmark the URL so I’m not 100% sure.

I just checked my CWOP data and found none has been received the last 24 hours. I have not changed anything in WD. I went to the CWOP setup in WD and clickes test and it failed to connect. CWOP2779

Not having any problem from my end in connecting…

Version 10.29Vrev fixed it. There was a bug in the ftp part of WD

Frank

yes, there was a bung version availble for only a few hours (while I was out)
