03 Jan. 2008: Major work done to Weather Station equipment.
  • Replaced a faulty Thermo-Hygro sensor unit.
  • Placed Thermo-Hygro sensor under a weatherproof shield to prevent moisture from entering into battery compartment. Have noticed numerous times previous unit having moisture in battery compartment when heavy dew, rain etc. was present. Additionally placed silicon around battery access door to ward off moisture.
  • Dropped Anemometer and waterproofed all sealed areas with silicon. Also all screw locations and/or locations where moisture could potentially enter into the unit. This has caused the Anemometer to consistently send faulty wind readings and/or locked the entire station up for hours when heavy moisture/humidity/dew etc. existed.
  • Placed toroids on ALL wiring approximately 6 inches from termination (plug-in) point to prevent unwanted or spurious RF entering into data lines from Amateur Radio equipment or other sources.
