Sometimes you just need to take a look out a window to see what is going on outside. This image is from a D-Link DCS-900W wireless internet camera looking south from my house. A snap shot from the live feed is uploaded about every ten minutes. Image time stamp: 2008-05-18 12:40:00 EDT.
For weather data collection I use a
Davis
Weather Monitor II with Davis Data Link software. The lightning data are
obtained from a
Boltek StormTracker
lightning detector installed at my home. The raw lightning strike data are
processed for presentation using
Lightning/2000
software. The weather data I collect are sent via the
internet to the
Citizen Weather Observer Program.
My two favorite hobbies are weather observation and amateur (ham) radio.
Well, OK maybe a third - computers which are very useful tools for use
in both ham radio and weather watching.
On the ham radio side, I am a member of the
ARRL - The National Association for
Amateur Radio, the
OH-KY-IN Amateur Radio Society
located in Cincinnati, Ohio and
Southcars. I am lucky to be a member of
a whole HAM family! My wife Jo KD4PYS, my daughters Becky
KG4BDO and Laurie KF4YWG. Ham radio must run in my family, including
my dad Ron WA4HWN and his wife Carmen WD4AGY, my brother Dave KC8YDM,
my father-in-law Al KD4PYQ, my sister-in-law Alison KI4BMI and her son
Chris KI4BOR.
