I'm using Cumulus to update to wunderground (
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... =KUTCAPIT2). I've waited over a week for the station to appear on the forecast page (click the Current Conditions link toward the top_ but the Field Station is not listed. Anyone know why the station would not appear on the forecast page?

I'm not sure that's true. Put in zip code 84604 and I think you'll get Hillcrest, Orem, which is my station (KUTOREM14). I was hoping to have the Capitol Reef Field Station listed the same way, but I don't even see it in nearby stations (the Station Select button). I'm thinking I have something configured wrong, but I can't figure what.

Yes, it's possible to have a personal weather station supplying the 'weather at a glance', and it should be listed in the nearby stations. I recall someone else having the same issue just after they had started uploading to WU. I think there's some kind of manual process involved; it may be worth sending them an email.

This is what I get for nearby stations:
Torrey, Utah (84775) Conditions & Forecast Weather Underground - Mozilla Firef_2011-08-31_17-22-17.png
KUTCAPIT2 (Capitol Reef Field Station) isn't one of those.

I'm getting closer. The station is listed, but not in a normal way:
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... 99999&MR=1
Sandy Ranch, UT, which is identified as the nearest town, is a long-defunct dude ranch. Didn't even rise up to the level of ghost town. Go figure. It also works if you search on Boulder, UT. A search on "Capitol Reef" does not show the station.
I'll email them and see if someone can apply a little sense to the computer.
