[TowerTalk] Anemometers and Weather Stations

[Mike Rhodes]

The LaCrosse line looks interesting to me and for a lot less than most of
the bigger names. Lots of info and on-line weather outputs from them. Don't
know if there are control capabilities and have never owned one.

> 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
