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).
How does it deal with snow? Traditional tipping bucket rain sensors typically have a black funnel to aid in melting with optional heaters.
