Our TWR Cab ASOS Display/OID freezes up about every other day now...they keep calling us to reset it from down in the CWO...Sorry fellas/gals...call AOMC or NWS because your clueless FAA is shutting us down in a couple weeks...there are only 2 ETs from the NWS to cover 1000s of sq miles of screwed up asos/awos/...i have seen it go down on Saturday nights...if it were left to the NWS, the techs will be in Monday about 1200noon...meanwhile no input on OID for your LAWRS ...over the last month or so...their OID has froze 20 times...and we ,over the last 90 days have had communications failures over 97 times...ADAS failures...(you wouldnt know it unless you monitor ADDS...) and you KNOW ATC isnt going to do that...( old modems were taken off line months ago...so NO comm backup is available...So in the long term scheme of things we went from a service A in 1996 to a B ,...Now a C , then when they close the cab /tracon at night ...a D... UM...NO Degrading of services....FAA is corrupt/ incompetent, and totally insane...and i say this not only as a pilot but an observer which will see over 110 yrs of climate data thrown in the toilet...and over 150 yrs of wx observer experience in our office tossed in the garbage...thanks FAA for being a total asinine group who are completely clueless...
