[sbe-eas] IPAWS CAP Weekly RWT Tests Status Update

[Dave Turnmire]

I may have missed the latest info on IPAWS... what is the current 
status?  The last IPAWS RWT I have received was December 28.  My DASDEC 
says it is still talking to their server.  Should I be getting RWTs 
now?  If not... why?

Thanks

Dave

I received this note from the person setting the system up:  "I had to send out two test RWTs on the production server, one EST the other PR/USVI. The next should (in theory) on Sunday, January 15th at 2000 EST (for Guam)."
