I'm using weewx 3.8.2 for a while now.

I'm also using the WOW upload. In restx.py the post_interval is hardcoded 
to 900 seconds. However the fag at 
https://www.wow.metoffice.gov.uk/support/faq#6.6 recommend an upload 
interval of at least 5 minutes, which is at least 300 seconds.
The WOW website of the british metoffice and the dutch version at 
https://wow.knmi.nl by default show values of a time period of 10 minutes. 
This caused my stations to disappear from the sites every once and a while, 
since no report was made within the last 10 minutes (with 
post_interval=900).

I manually changed the value of 900 myself to 480 for now, so reporting 
will be done every 8 minutes.

I noticed version 3.9.0 is on the way, so I would like to ask the 
developers to either decrease the hardcoded post_interval for WOW, or make 
it available as an configurable option in weewx.conf.

Just my two cents, Keep up the good work!
