Bug#1081184: ITP: aprs-weather-submit -- Manually submit weather station data to the APRS-IS network.
Morning Colin!
There's a number of us who package radio things hanging out in #debian-hams on oftc, and at https://lists.debian.org/debian-hams/.
I enjoy packet and APRS - you're welcome to ask any questions/queries about Debian specific weidness, or ask on the list alternatively!
Cheers,
