Voyager Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Instead of using the nearest airport code over to the left under your name, you can go to Winderground's "stickers" and put your own station in your signature line, like I did. It gives a better representation of the temps and conditions in YOUR OWN backyard as opposed to ones several miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pasted code from Wunderground to display my weather station and all I get is the code showing in my signature. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Mine is http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KPAORRTA2 which is my rainwise MKIII station. I also have a Davis VP2 which I use for comparison and I have my MMTS through NWS so I'm set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a battle with my wife to get my Davis Vantage Vue in the back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Do you guys mind posting what type of systems you use? Steven has been guiding me on a few things, but always like to see what the guys I read obs from use for themselves. I'm a bit limited in fact I have a tiny, tiny yard that's surrounding by my three-story house and my detached garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are reasonable accurate, take up little room, and all senors are together in the unit. It simply mounts to a 1" pipe and your good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply mounts to a 1" pipe and your good to go True, but i'd have to mount it to the peak of my garage roof - and that's probably 10' away from the side of the house. Wouldn't that cause havok with wind measurements and all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go with the Davis VP2 and separate your sensors but then it gets a little expensive What's the most important data to you? And budget if I may ask?

FWIW, CWOP/MADIS doesn't do too much with wind speed or direction. They are much more concerned with temperature, humidity and pressure data. Even though my PWS is fairly sheltered in all directions by houses or trees I've never seen my wind data fail QC even though it's about 1/3 the speed registered at LNS.

Temp, humidity, pressure and precip are most important. I'd love to get wind but know that can spotty unless you have a setup like yours in a wide-open area. Budget isn't much of an issue - I wouldn't want to spend necessarily over $500-600 but would if it gives a much better, easier-to-use product.

Then I'd add the wireless anemometer kit to that. This will allow you to keep main station with temp, rain etc low, and put the wind up higher. This is what I have. Go to weatherbuffs.com Click the email me better price link to get more savings. This is cheapest I've seen station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORT Whenever I save up a bunch of money I am buying one of the AWOS system. Not the full scale NWS type ones but, the lower grade models. They go for like a couple thousand dollars. http://www.opticalscientific.com/_OSI_Systems_MAWOS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashtown_Coop Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 A what? Ultrasonic station. Check Orion out. They have them on 322 above Lewiston.

No, that is Carroll Valley Airport. You are thinking of KRSP which is Camp David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 No, that is Carroll Valley Airport. You are thinking of KRSP which is Camp David. Eskimo Joe, KRYT is the AWOS on the Raven Rock Complex, The Carroll Valley Airport (Mid Atlantic Soaring Center)http://www.midatlanticsoaring.org/?PUB=1&COL=37 is simply a 2700ft runway for gliders. It's located on Pecher Rd. on the south side of Liberty Mt Resort. I've been there several times, and there is no AWOS there. The Raven Rock Complex, (Site R to us locals) is a very secure goernment facility (tunnel) off of Harbaugh Valley Rd. My father worked there for 17 years. There's not much info about KRYT because it's located on the base, but I do know the station sits right next to their helopad and even though it's in Adams County, LWX maintains it. I confrimed this through CTP. I work in Fairfield and grew up 5 miles north of there and know this area very well. And if you go up to the gates of Site R, MP'S with M 16's will greet you. http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/? wunderground has the station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
