Hi, NOAA moved the url on which you can get the data. I use clweather, a little command-line util, I just change the URL in the sourcecode and it worked again. The move happen a couple of weeks ago. The new URL to point the application to is: http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/decoded/ Good luck & 73, Adrian -- Adri P. van Bloois Antonlaan 104 email: adrian at pa0rda.nl 3701 VG Zeist voice: +31-(0)-30-6912741 The Netherlands fax: NONE 52 05'15.77"N 5 4'44.56"E QTH-locater JO 22 OC "Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure."
