The quake data is probably why I was invited into the Firenet group
in the first place.  I had been injecting it into APRS-IS for a
while before that.  When Firenet came along I started injecting
those quakes plus the lower-magnitude quakes as well.  Then fires.

Hi.i get the Quake data via Curt by using the following filter in 
the Internet config


roeate.aprs.net:14579

s/alt/Q in the Filter Paramaters

shows up all the Quakes on the world map
very interesting data too especially the ones in the Indonesia and South 
Pacific areas that are close to VK.



Tnx Curt for the data supply

Nope, you got the point, I was just aiming for earthquake data.  The page I was 
actually looking for was information about firenet itself and the data that 
comes through it plus filters, etc.

[Xastir] Dialog window sizes?

[Dexter N Muir]

Hi all...

   Just noticed - opening a dialog with variable data (such as Station
Info, or Map Chooser) opens a tiny window with buttons on top of each
other and no data showing.  Re-sizing does not appear to be 'sticky'
either, and re-sizing each time is a right pain...
   I don't recall this being so on earlier versions.

Now that the cron kicked off, there's data to look at:

http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=we7u&start=24&length=24

That's just the data that hit the APRS-IS.  Much more went to
firenet.us.  The format should be relatively clear.  Naming is
DDHHMMq and then a two-digit magnitude, so I was wrong about
starting with a 'q'.

I believe it's the same software.  Port 14580 is the filtered port,
2023 is the full feed.

I just checked:  My crons were not running on wetnet.net since July
15th so I just kicked crond.  That should get data flowing again.

Filters is filters.  firenet uses javaprs and the server adjunct.  Same 
syntax works.

Actually this has nothing to do with the radar images you serve up.  I only 
pull one radar image directly from NWS servers.  So it's the NWS feed that 
breaks ImageMagick at times.

We don't know anyone with enough free time to worry about making

There's more than enough stuff going on on that feed to keep you busy

Quakes?  Sure.  firenet.us:2023, or the filtered port there.  I have
Perl scripts which do web-scraping and inject them into the APRS-IS

Another ham did Perl scripts as well, before I did mine.  W9IF I

Switching to GraphicsMagick worked but it also explained the error.  
ImageMagick was failing without printing an error so I had no idea what was 
going on.  But with GM, it tells me that occasionally the radar GIF is corrupt
