Weather Station

Post by colin keightley »

So as some of you may know Christine Nicholls acquired a weather station it would be a good idea if we could rig it up as a standalone setup to place on a site, is there anyone in the club who would like to take up the challenge of putting it together. I will be proposing that the club pays for equipment to turn this into a standalone device.
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country

I know a good position for the weather station the site is n.east of Brandon
grid ref NU 045 180

There is an established phone mast there and its on top of a 300ft hill with a large flat top, aprox 700ft asl (true wind speed and direction)

I think the farmer would be fine with it and the site will be secure.

Yes, Ron I think that would be a good place to have it, I was going to suggest a place beside Mr Telford's,Farm but that's much better.

Something is working! :D

I will see what Rod has to say about getting the data from the weather station to a server. I have ideas, but Rod as the experience.
