[TowerTalk] Anemometers and Weather Stations

["Alan C. Zack" <k7acz@cox.net>]

I am in the process of putting up my tower and would like to add a 
weather station/anemometer to the shack.  Our Boeing Club station had 
a fancy system with an anemometer that would automatically lower the 
tower when the wind exceeded a set level.
I don't want to get that fancy (and expensive) but would like to have 
a means of reading wind speed from the shack so I could crank the 
tower down when it gets too windy.  Something that had a warning light 
when a set limit was reached would be nice but not necessary.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for something like this 
or share your experiences.
TIA & 73
