Hi Frank,
I only have limited access to the PilotAware Database I’m afraid, but I can see an entry for PWLongSut on the ‘Stations List’, though none of its details are showing (i.e. date last updated, software version, lat, long, altitude, etc), which I can see for all the others. This may of course be ‘normal’ for new stations until their data becomes established, but together with the ‘non-appearance’ of your Station on any of the regular reporting sites, Glidertracker, ognrange, GliderRADAR, Spot the Gliders, etc, would suggest that it either isn’t running or isn’t passing data to the internet properly.
Edit: I have also just checked and it isn't showing on any of the APRS Servers.
Can you remember if the ‘service’ restarted properly at the end of the setup process? After finishing the gsm scan and reporting the Station Criteria, it should have done this automatically as shown below...

You were obviously able to log in to the Pi to run the config script. Can you use the same login to check port 8081 and see if it is reporting APRS Beacon and APRS Status at the bottom of the page.
How is the unit connected to the internet - presumably by Ethernet cable direct to your router?
I take it you haven’t added any additional (e,g, remote access) software?
By the way you can use up to 9 letters for the OGN station name, which is what you enter in the config, but the 9 letter name will be truncated to the first 7 for the station’s PilotAware name when the PW prefix is added by the software, after which the station displays the 2 names e.g. EFortune (OGN) and PWEFortun - no ‘e’ (PAW). Not a good idea to change the name after you get the station running, however, as this creates duplicate files all over the networks.
Regards
