Technical background

My station is a Radio Shack WX-200 which I received as a Christmas present in 2002. As serious weather enthusiasts will know this unit is identical to an Oregon Scientific WM-918 which seems to have become obsolete sometime in 2003.

This is not professional equipment. I would caution you not to depend on information supplied for anything critical.

The humidity sensor does not function at sub-zero temperatures.

Freezing rain has occasionally interfered with wind speed and direction readings.

My dad has built a Stevenson Screen to house the temperature sensor. It is installed 1.5 metres above the ground and should result in accurate temperature readings.

I am using Andy Keir's FreeWX software to compile and display data. One day I hope I will get a chance to personally thank Andy for his wonderful contribution to my weather project. I am equally grateful to several other software developers who have provided add-ons to Andy's program.

When I get time I hope to tell you a little about our community.
