WebCam

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.
