Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.

Re: Yet another Windvane Mod
So maybe the long tail vane raised above the anemometer is the answer?
Here's a graph from about a week ago.
And one from this afternoon's mod and resetting of data.
That orderly little row of blue dots looks so neat.
What's your collective opinions?

Re: Yet another Windvane Mod
Very impressive, you seem to have perfected it in one step. I had previously played with adding short extensions with no improvement, but I'm now tempted to follow your lead. Cheers!

Re: Yet another Windvane Mod
This was my vane extension - it didn't help. Worse if anything. It was polystyrene about 2mm thick.
