Forgot the questions.

Like Dave I put toroids in the normal places as he did and have not had a problem, and my RFhs no effect on the reports being sent from my Peet system via a 2M packet xmitter to an intake point up the coast.

I agree with Dave on a USB wireless signal, it is limited, pay attention to manufacturer comments and recommendations.

My marine traffic AIS receiving and reporting station runs 24/7 and have had no problem with RF affecting it either.

And I have, on occasion, run my Alpha at its capability.

Good luck,

Don W7WLL

Hi All -- I'm thinking of putting up a weather station at my QTH, and
connecting it with WUnderground.com  (as in "W"eather Underground).
I want to know wind speed and direction at or near my tower and _ON_
the tower will give the most accurate data, it seems.

Questions:
* anyone notice interaction/RFI issues of a USB-connected weather
station on a tower or close to it?
* what experiences do you all have?
* the WUnderground.com site has a number of suggested weather station
packages -- any others you like?

73,
