I would like to announce "Gamma Testing" of AutoSkyWarn (ASW). ASW is designed to couple SkyWarn Operations with AllStar Servers / Nodes. ASW is a program / shell script (developed to run on the AllStar DIAL distribution for PCs) allowing an AllStar Server and Node to automatically report and announce forty nine (49) National Weather Service (NWS) Warnings, Watches, Advisories and Special Weather Statements as they occur. You can access the Overview and ReadMe1st first documents at http://kizzy03.wixsite.com/kf5vh/auto-skywarn and also on that site you can hear 3 sounds clips of messages produced by ASW. This release is for someone that has worked with UNIX/Linux systems as superuser. There are notes, but no step by step installation guide. (There is an effort to integrate ASW into the DIAL upgraded system.) The software requires Festival and SOX to operate. Alpha and Beta testing have been successful. I will be releasing copies of ASW (as a tarball) by email until there is a fully documented installation guide. So after reviewing the Overview and ReadMe1st if you are still interested in becoming a Gamma Test site for AutoSkyWarn please send me an email at KF5VH@louisiana.edu and please include: - your location - a URL pointer to your repeater/group website if you have one - if you are willing to make notes about your install process - and when you have it running, send comments about operation - any other interesting information The tarball should be ready by next week. ...STeve - KF5VH There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
