I have two personal weather stations installed at my home. One is a WeatherFlow Tempest. It is installed about 100 feet south of my Davis Vantage Pro 2 station.
You can see the public data from that station here.
I wanted to learn MySQL, IIS, HTML, XML, and server side scripting so I thought I
would run a web site. Weather had always fascinated me and I had a weather
station and lightning detector at my house, so why not use the station
data to provide near real time weather information in a format I liked?
So this is the result.
My two favorite hobbies are weather observation (Citizen Weather Observer Program
ID: AP235)
and amateur (ham) radio (call sign KD4PYR).
Well, OK maybe a third - computers which are very useful tools for use
in both ham radio and weather watching.
If your are looking for Kentucky climate information there is a great resource:
The Kentucky Mesonet is a network of automated
weather and climate monitoring stations being developed by the Kentucky Climate Center at
Western Kentucky University.
On the ham radio side, I am a member of the
ARRL - The National Association for
Amateur Radio. I am lucky to be a member of
a whole HAM family! My wife Jo KD4PYS, my daughters Becky
KG4BDO and Laurie KF4YWG are all hams. 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(SK), my sister-in-law Alison KI4BMI and her son
Chris KI4BOR. Even my daughter Laurie's husband Alex KJ4HPE has his
license!
