You can use the BB airport sensor as a backup.

Thanks for the heads up M! I'll contact iW and request they repair it ASAP (and remind them it's the only reason I subscribe) as soon as I have a moment and would ask all other subscribers to do the same. Thanks

graph currently shows wind is calm. Not necessarily a busted sensor.

I've been watching it and it's been down for about a week. It shows no data back until August 1st when it looks like it went down.

It's direction indicator also went down a few weeks ago. I was still reading strength though until recently.

The sensor has been removed because the building has been sold and bulldozed. iWindsurf/ iKitesurf will find a new location for the sensor.

Thanks Tony, I was wondering when that was going to happen. I heard the new owners were thinking about doing that.
