Thats just it, Gary...LOL  I don't remember...I am still very much a 
newbie.  :-D  I have followed instructions as best I can, and have even 
figured out a few things on my own, but I have only been using WeeWX since 
January (I started building my station in December though).  I know enough 
about programming to fill a thimble halfway.  LOL

That said, I *tremendously* appreciate the help of everyone on these 
forums....this has proven to be a really cool and rewarding hobby to pick 
up!  Thanks to everyone!
