I agree we should focus on wind data as we do have a good camera up. I talked to the guys at iwindsurf about using the "sky station" but it will not be ready for a long time.
If we have found someone willing to host a station why not get the iwindsurf one installed there. I know you guys want a free access station but we need money up front and if anything goes wrong with it we have to fix it and that costs more money. The other good thing about the iwindsurf one is it uses a 20W solar panel so no power and we don't need a phone line, it has a GPRS modem which means no cost to the host or us. It's also on another level as far as equipment goes. This is the new one and it cost $5000..... they will also install it for us.
Please consider this??
I am not interested in iwindsurf contacts or affiliation of any sort for this project, same as "sponsors" that took over when "they " can have made this happen a longgggggggggggggg time ago. and I appreciate this to be a small project and not interested to use the house rooftop or walls for it or lend my contact for it. I fear this may become a power debate and im not interested in that. Do not try to Snake me on this or create difficulties and impediment to this project anybody. this s a fundraiser I started, IM me personally if your idea diff a lot from that. so far , SWS idea make possibly some sense as I am also a member(but I disagree wt some direction issues), offer for $ from people make sense and thank you. if camera is too much, then I will go for wind meter only. im also thinking other spots, that's why the cam be nice. as using rooftop or side of walls,theres a bunch of legality, cost, insurance, and ownership wt contracts that I am NOT interested in at this point but may be when I start Banditowinds lol ok boys n girls , more about this in a week or so. Ah, I bet the guies from iwindsurf don't like my idea and rushing to fix there end of your 100$ You paid. FREE winder and Free spirit, To ME! lets do it n bypass them all.
