findU.com

 

findU is a very large database archiving weather, position, telemetry, and message data. The primary source of data is an amateur radio system called APRS (automatic position reporting system) plus some weather data that comes from an internet based system called the Citizen Weather Observer Program. The database is constantly updated and can be accessed via a number of dynamic web pages. Samples of other CGI scripts that can be called on can be found on the findu.com website.
