Skyway wind meter
 
is this down again?

i know its been a topic of old, but what can really be done to get a quality wind meter in place for us wind junkies to own and maintain?

just $$$ ?

Maybe a caveman can do it........

are we SOL on this?

Anyone have contact info for someone that could give us the scoop on the skyway meter?

I know its not a super dependable wind gauge, but for a quick look-see on how things are going its one of the best we've got.

I think Jayson and others have already been in contact with Dr. Luther.
I don't think that sensor has much value, especially this time of year since there aren't any easts, but here is Dr. Luther's info -

someone just launched a kite at Upham.

thanks Jay..


here's the response I got yesterday:

Bryan,

A crew is replacing that station as we speak. They are waiting on a few more pieces and parts but said it should be operation by 8/9. I'll let you know if I hear anything further.

Regards,
Darren
