Two topics covered here. Thanks for the opening.

To make the program more...universal...shouldn't it check for more

are also used by foreign countries and could be (or maybe already are)

At a minimum a CW station should be required to be wx and the last
four characters should be numeric I would think.
Correct. I'd also recommend that we look explicitly for APnnn, ARnnn,
ASnnn and that we consider making this a user-configurable area that
gets updated periodically by developers or maintainers to be "the
default list"
*TOPIC 2*
Please consider connecting to cwop.tamu.eduport 30001 for gathering your
CWOP data. That provides a full (nope, no filters) feed for all CWOP
data including APRS-Wx (ham: not CW/DW) stations.
There are 3 CWOP-dedicated servers. These are for the CW/DW stations.
Hams should continue to use the APRS-IS servers _unless_ you don't
want your data pointed to RF.
Questions will be entertained. We're trying to get CWOP covered with
its own servers to improve CWOP *and* APRS performance.

So no, it won't recognized DW's. Yet.
