[TowerTalk] Wind Speed by Location

[Don W7WLL]

Tnx for sharing that Gene. No numbers came up for this location, but I've 
maintained a WX station and auto- recorded daily most aspects of the local 
wx since 2007. At my exposed location we experience interesting wind 
conditions during the year!!!!!! I've a pretty good grasp on what to expect 
here. So far, everything has stayed up during even the most severe wind 
condx.

If ever thinking of visiting the scenic Oregon coast,  there is a site owned 
by the OCRG (Oregon Coast Repeater Group) providing current wx conditions 
24/7 from Rockaway Beach to Yachats on the OR coast at 
http://www.ocrg.org/telemetry_feed/ocrgwx.html. All of this information is 
fed to the NWS through MesoWest.

Most of the wx stations are located at ham locations. I'm the 'Yachats' 
site. We also host AIS and ADS-B receiving and reporting stations.

Other interesting information is also available on the OCRG site.

I know a lot of hams have wx instruments mounted outside (some on towers, 
some on roofs, etc) but few installations are designed around the NOAA/NWS 
wx instrument siting standard. The siting standards for the various wx 
reporting instruments such as, temp, humidity, rain, wind, etc are difficult 
to meet for most ham installations, so most do what works.

Didn't see this in the archives, maybe of interest to the TowerTalkians.

I was poking around the Internet last night and bumped into the website
of the "Applied Technology Council": *

http://windspeed.atcouncil.org/

*Enter your address and the site returns the wind speeds for that location.

Cheers,
