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.
