The weather at VE3KSR
by Dave Schwartz VA3DGS

The VE3KSR site located at the CKCO-TV trasmitter site on Baden HillThe Waterloo Wellington Packet Users Group (WWPUG) with the assistance of KWARC has installed a Peet Ultimeter 2000 automated weather station at the VE3KSR APRS digipeater site on the Baden hill located between Petersburg and Baden, Ontario. The data telemetry is beaconed on the VHF APRS network where it is gatewayed to the internet, then received and decoded by a process running on this server.

Dave Schwartz VA3DGS developed custom software that is running on the KW-IGS server that IGS donates for KWARC's use. Dave indicated that since this is a new installation, co-located with several very powerful commercial transmitters they  are experiencing RFI problems that make the humidity reading seriously erratic. The group expect to correct this situation in the near future
