Acurite on the lower side of WInegard TV antenna, and an Oregon Scientific WMR100a at 30 ft AGL on top of antenna.

Nice and clean looking install.  Love the antenna.  What is your height on the temp sensor?

Nice setup!   

It seems about as ideal as you can get to me.  I would love to get to 30' on all my anemometer.  I have the Davis VP2 and Vue's up on my patio roof on an 15' foot pole at about 24/25' respectively buy my Acurite's only at about 16'. 

I'd love to get that up with Davis's so could you kindly tell me where you get the super cool bolt-on antenna your Acurite is mounted on?   That looks like it would allow me to get the Acurite up w/the Davis with that side mount setup..

I can't say I've ever see one like that, pretty unique looking, plus it appears to fit seamlessly into the Acurite mount hole which 1 1/4' poles don't since it's 3/4 so that in itself is cool.  Be Googling next to see if i can find it...
