It appears that the problem with the Egmont Iwindsurf sensor relates not to the bird crap which we cleaned off. Jeff the techie at Iwindsurf thinks the station took a lightning strike which has fouled up the electronics. He is sending me a replacement panel. We have arranged with a fishing guide to take me out to climb up and try to switch out the panel. This process should take a while for the gear to get here and to find a calm day to go out and climb up the tower covered with layers of bird crap. However, with some luck we should have it fixed in a week or two.

Tim
