I think the problem may be the names. There is no need to use a call as the receiver name.
You are correct! Right after my last post I went back to the original example conf file example (from the web site) and changed the receiver name to remove the '/T' suffix from the call sign, while leaving it present for the uploaded spots - important for me to distinguish different locations I use. After a restart the spots began uploading correctly. I also did some more editing of the example conf file to change all of the "no" values to "yes" for the noise related reporting. Hopefully that is working correctly too - I have a lot ore learning to do to figure out how to verify that.
