This is obviously still in process, but I want to log the entire process.
I have a lightly used Davis Vantage Pro 2 on the way as well as a datalogger from belfryboy and a WLAN router for use with meteobridge.
The first portion of the system I have in place is the mounting pole.
I used a 10' piece of electrical conduit mounted to one of my non-operational chimneys.
Although there are trees that tower over it from the north, I believe i found a good spot with a gap to allow mostly unobstructed wind readings.
I have ensured the post is level from all directions at both the top and the bottom.
The last picture is from the back lot and the fence is 5' high for reference.
I only plan on having this setup for a few years until I either repair the chimneys for use and/or add a tower in the back lot for my antennas and weather station components.
