Hoping someone can help with reporting issue

Hello, I have been running my Ambient 1080 through Cumulus since 2012, and it has faithfully uploaded data to Wunderground, PWS Weather and CWOP through the years. Within the past week or so, it stops reporting to CWOP. I reboot the computer and it starts reporting again briefly, before stopping again. It is still reporting to Wunderground and PWS Weather with no issues. I'm baffled.

I too have been providing data to those sites for years without issue. Check the relevant section of your cumulus.ini. This is mine...

[APRS]
ID=DW8024
pass=hidden
server=cwop.aprs.net
port=14580
Enabled=1
Interval=5
SendSR=0

It would seem no password is required.

Without a password, someone else could be (accidentally or maliciously) sending uploads to the same 'station'.

Maybe try getting a new station ID and see if that fixes it - won't link your old data, but might help identify the problem.

I hope no-one on here trashes yours, Ray - or did you obfuscate it?

@ExperiMentor, it never occurred to me that anyone would attempt to use my data. It has now been amended. Just checked and everything seems in order. No harm done.

My settings are similar you yours. I tried several things: complete reboot including disconnecting all wires, including to the station. Re-downloading Cumulus. switching to an alternate port, then switching back. I'm not sure which of these worked, but I'm back online and reporting every 5 minutes. Thank you!
