    WX_TALK

    I just added it on my end. I will have to check and see if my uplink
    has it available. Since you get your feed from me I figured I would at
    least add it to my system and get the ball rolling. Haven't seen an
    offical announcement that it was added to the backbone so it may be a
    few days before most of the hubs get it added. Ross usually get replies
    out quickly. I know you have put a lot of time and effort in deciding to
    go with a weather discussion echo. Hope all goes well.

    Thanks!

    Provided enough systems add the echo, I think think we will be in good shape. There seems to be a real interest in general weather discussion that could compliment the existing weather echo, which is more geared towards technical data.

    Oddly, I was the original moderator years ago of the National Weather Network. I was really happy to see it still alive and strong when I returned last year.

    good shape.

    My uplink 140/1 has it now. I am linked with my uplink. I took a peek at Janis's bbs and she has it. I am guessing Ross has it setup. :) Go a
    head with a message and see if you get any traffic. Not sure about any
    other hubs.

    Thanks, everyone! I just posted a message on it this morning.

    It may take some time to get rolling, but I believe it will eventually.

    Sounds good!

    I posted a message on it two days ago (July 19th) and another one just a few minutes ago (July 21st) at 12:06pm EST.

    Hope it makes it through the hubs.. :)

    Hi Mark, Yes, I've seen both of those messages here. Looks like

    I'm glad you are seeing it. I have yet to see the few posts I made recently make it to the STATS echo listing.

    I'll give it some more time..
