Here are a few photos from the
KSPL site at
Isla Blanca County Park at the south end of
South Padre Island, Texas. The station is, obviously, in the RV campground and close to the emergency heliport at the left of the panorama. I am not at all sure what the four(4) white cones/whatever you call them at the right base of the tower. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
Unfortunately the station is currently off line as far as data is concerned. Its my understanding the
City of South Padre Island owns the station and contracts maintenance out to a third party in Houston, Texas. It, in my experience, takes them a long time to get the station back online at times.
