I registered an AWS station ID 0-780-1-003 AWS Brasso Vernado (Trinidad and Tobago). This station was registered as "Not for International exchange". However the station is appearing in Oscar as black with expected number of reports listed as 8. My understanding is that this should not occur with stations registered as "Not for International exchange". I have tried a number of things to address this with no success. I changed the station affiliation from RBON to Non-affiliated, I also changed the name of the station with no success. This situation has affected the registration of additional AWS stations as I do not wish to have a repeat of this situation with other stations. Can someone provide some guidance? Thanks. See screenshots attached below.
Station registered as "Not For International Exchange" but appearing in Oscar/Surface as black
Re: Station registered as "Not For International Exchange" but appearing in Oscar/Surface as black
Dear Oscar, I see your point, the wdqms shouldn't consider this station as operational
One of the things I would try is to set the status of the station to "Operational", now the field is empty and this might cause other problems. This field is used, among others, to collect the points for the WDQMS.
In the reporting section you indicated the interval "Reporting interval: 601 s (second)" and it looks very strange (every 10.01666 minutes). Please consider establishing a 1hr interval if you plan to send reports internationally every hour, or the interval you plan to exchange.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

this looks like a bug. We are investigating and will report back.

we found the bug. In the immediate the issue can be remediated by configuring a reporting interval that aligns with 24h (1h, as suggested by Martina).
We will release a fix in one of the next releases. The issue is that schedules which do not align with 24h are filtered, and therefore the "international reporting False" is not considered when computing the number of expected observations.
Thank you for reporting this issue.
with kind regards,

Thank you for your response. I will try as advised and let's hope that solves the problem.

Dear Martina,
How do you change the Reporting Interval? When I try to edit the setting of my station it says that the reporting interval is automatically set based on the type of the station.
