Power off = no powerline noise on 50MHz ! You might be able to hear some signals normally drowned in noise....if you can power your IC-702M2G via other means....and you can stop your Yagi 'windmilling' ..... .

Power was off for 10 hours. When it came back on the powerline noise came with it. I give up.

Weird lines of cloud in the Gulf of Carpentaria this evening. They look kinda like morning glory clouds, but it ain't morning.

NOAA 17 pass at 1133UT.

I recall last year the city council wanted to test by getting on a small plane and spray something up in the air to create rain as clouds would then form.

I would be suprise if all the rain we are now recently getting since last year in brisbane is mainly because of that experiment.

I just wont be drinking toilet water as they are now wants to do these purified waters ideals. Just bring me a ginger beer ill be ok.

Vos.

Im predicting that theres going to be snow flakes falls close to the city of melbourne.. Lets face it in the year 2000 there was snow near by wasnt there? Mlebourne is allways a cold state by all means.. I went there and notice the victorian folks wearing european jackets. My goodness i dont hardly see these preciuse jackets in brisbane at all. It did felt like i was in london believe it or not and yes its true melbourne has beautiful winter jackets and goats hehe Allready seen mid age ladies with tiget goats that looked quite russian in my opinion.

Thats melbourne.

The world will change the way it is.

Hi simmo, been observing this and interested in the weather station hardware you invested in. Mine is LaCrosse, something I bought a couple of years ago and I have posted images of the software application during extremes of weather in my local area. I use something called Weather Display as software and have on odd occasions thought about setting up a site for humble Bacchus Marsh, what do I need?


BTW I have disabled the anometer on this setup
Cheers

Hi mate,
I use a software app called cumulus by sandaysoft.
Its fairly easy to set up although I did make a few mistakes early on.
Then you need a web site and a host that will allow nigh on fulltime FTP access.
If you click on the forum button on my weather page it will take you there, the downloads button is at the top of the page.
