@avryhof It does indeed work!

https://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=K2MTS-1

No configuration changes were necessary, I am only passing station_id (as K2MTS-1), latitude, and longitude.

Packets do not seem to post reliably; I'm not sure if that's a real issue or perhaps a built-in rate limit on the CWOP endpoint. I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks so much!

I'm not sure if it's a hard limit, or just a suggestion, but looking at http://www.wxqa.com/servers2use.html

7. How often should I send a weather data packet?

• Every 5 minutes or LESS often, i.e. 6 minutes, 7 minutes,.....etc.

So, I would recommend adhering to that as much as possible, just because it's in the docs, and I wouldn't want to run afoul of their server admins, and get banned for that reason.

I do have mine updating every 5 minutes. My script pulls the weather data from the API, dumps it into a Django model (sitting on top of Postgres) then sends it out to CWOP. If I had read that page in more detail previously, I might have set my limit for CWOP data to 10 minutes.
