WeatherFlow Tempest no moving parts home weather station
by Ken Alker 18 Jun '20

Since hams seem to be intrigued by weather (or, at least they seem to talk about it a lot on the radio - perhaps due to nothing else to say, or to kick start a conversation), I thought people might enjoy hearing about this new device (UUQ especially maybe for Santa Cruz Island). There are no moving parts. This station measures rainfall using the sound of droplets hitting the top of the device (no tipping bucket). This also measures wind direction and wind speed via sonar (no spinning cups). It does mathematical compensation to arrive at the proper temperature despite being in direct sunlight. It was purchased for me as a gift via a KickStarter program. I think it was $280, or so. Here is a link: <https://weatherflow.com/tempest-weather-system/>

Documentary film featuring amateur radio
by Levi C. Maaia, K6LCM 17 May '20

17 May '20

I thought I would pass along a link to a documentary film project that I am working on featuring amateur radio operators in Cuba. A number of years ago, Joel CO2YQ and I met on JT-65 on 40m. When I visited Havana later that year, Joel and I met in person. Since then, I have been fascinated by the ingenuity of people on the island in the face of adversity. I published an article on amateur radio in Cuba in QST magazine in 2015: https://levi.maaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/QSL-from-Cuba-QST-201510.… Today, as all of us face shortages and the need to improvise and endure, MAKING IT IN CUBA seems more relevant than ever. Vimeo link: https://vimeo.com/419182929 Password: cuba (all lower case) This 3-minute “sizzle reel” is exclusive look at the results of our very fruitful film scout to the island in January. We will be using this sizzle to pitch the project to potential financiers and distributors. That said, this link is for your eyes only. Thank you in advance for not posting it on social media. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to taking you back to Havana for a deeper dive into Cuba’s Maker and amateur radio cultures.
