i'm pretty sure they were not even aware that some microscopic number (relative to the number of daily users of their site) of amateur radio repeaters were extracting the info from their site.

So, as you say, decisions were made at some level, pushed out from DC, and everyone clapped each other on the back for a job well done.

Remember, this is the Federal Government you're dealing with. I'm sure a lot of the people at the local offices realize this would be beneficial, but generally the direction an agency will go, which includes how information such as this will be presented to the general public, comes down from the top.

If this was brought up to those that can influence the decisions, maybe a separate part of the their website could be created exclusively for this type of activity. Wouldn't even need to be advertised, per se. Just there and accessible to whoever knows where to find it.

Maybe try contacting someone within the NWS and see if they could direct you to someone that could help out with this. I'm guessing this may never have been done.

Just a suggestion,

You would think the NWS would have some kind of special portal to help support ham operators since we do help out in times of weather events.

Thanks for the info.

nws changed their reporting and web structure; none of the legacy scripts are working as of now.  people are working on it, but no good solution as of yet.

What is the latest working solution to get WX Weather reports/alerts on DIAL?  I found some pages talking about BBB but didn't see anything for DIAL.
