I'm not sure if I should share this in Chit Chat or the Davis forum.... It's kind of Davis Chit Chat...
A few weeks ago I took my spare Davis VP2 console over to our boat so I could monitor the humidity in it. I have the default settings in it. My console immediately picked up somebody's weather station. I kind of expected this because there are a few Davis stations in the area... I have no idea where it's coming from. That is kind of nice. Since I am not doing anything with the data, I think it is ethical.
Earlier this week we ran our boat down to Edmonds, which is about a 2 hour run through the middle of Puget Sound. To my surprise, on the way home, my console was picking up stations most of the way. Now this
REALLY me away. Attached is a pic and a red blob at one of the positions I was picking up a signal. That is approximately 2.5 miles from any shoreline in all directions. Granted, this is a clear line of site, but that is still a LONG way for an ISS to transmit. I was VERY impressed.
Thought I'd Share,
