Looks like my outdoor array lost connection for a bit this morning. Went down about 5:10 and came back on about 07:30. I was still getting data from the indoor sensor so I know the display was powered up, but the only outdoor data showing was rainfall. No temp. humidity, etc. Has been in the same location for a week and never lost signal. I powered the display down last night for about an hour while I made a change to my mounting pole. It's mounted in the same height, same location, and oriented the same direction as before, I just replaced an extension on the pole. I brought it back up around 18:00 and it was fine until about 05:00 this morning. Brand new energizer lithium batteries, etc. Any ideas? Can lightning affect the radio signal? The bad weather hadn't hit us yet at the time it lost signal but was in the area.
Outdoor data started transmitting again about 07:30, just in time to catch the thunderstorm that came through. I can see the data on Ambient Weather Network, WU, and PWS. Data looks good since it came back up and they all show the station reporting. I can see the data on Wunderstation, and it looks accurate compared to the others. But, after it's up for a few seconds it tells me the station isn't reporting, even though the data I'm looking at is only a few minutes old. Any ideas? I have the rapid refresh on, wondering if I'm having intermittent signal problems from the array and Wunderstation is seeing that with the rapid refresh? Everything is set up as it has been since I fired it up a week ago.
Edit: Distance from the array to display console is about 60', and array is mounted at height of 8'. Liked I said, zero issues until today.
