Central Jersey (47N) airport manager Greg Burchette: Getting a service response from Belfort is rare; getting a service fix is impossible! Belfast Municipal (KBST) airport manager Thomas Kittredge: The DigiWx system has been down for months; we're seeking a replacement AWOS! Ravalli County (6S5) airport manager Page Gough: The wind and temp info is only advisory; it is not FAA certified weather data!

Coral Creek (FA54) airport manager Lawrence DeAndrade: We're embarrassed to admit that we have one of these systems! Hyde Field (W32) airport manager Stan Fetter: Most pilots prefer to tune-in the SuperAWOS about a mile away at Potomac Airpark (KVKX)!

Vandalia Municipal (KVLA) airport manager Chad Feldpouch: The data spewed from DigiWx (when its working) is always suspect! Fort Benton (79S) airport manager George Carver: We desperately want a SuperAWOS because the DigiWx doesn't measure up!
