WeatherLink to APRS

I've added a link in downloads describing an approach to uploading data from a weather station program to APRS using the scripting language PHP.

Here, the weather station program is WeatherLink and the APRS program is UI-View32, but this approach could be applied to other Weather stations and other APRS programs.

APRS was devised by Bob Bruninga, call sign WB4APR. The acronym stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System. Ham radio enthusiasts use this system across radio waves.

Through it's widespread adoption, a large network of stations running APRS has grown. The APRS network is currently used to place objects of interest on real world maps. This information is often details of the Ham enthusiast themselves, but equally it can be information that's useful to the Ham community. For example, hospitals, roads, ports and here, weather stations.
