Hi Guys,
The weather station has been running unaided for nearly 3 years so it's now time to do a bit of maintenance. It is planned to start this process tomorrow (Tues 18th) morning with help from Maritime's contractor, Solartech.

Maintenance will include;
1) Cleaning the solar panels, webcam and ultrasonic anemometer
2) Installing a new main electronics board
3) Checking the seals on the boxes
4) Connecting a new ultrasonic probe to measure tide height
5) Install new bird deterrent spikes

It is hoped to re-install the weather station this Wednesday.

Thanks go to Oak Flats Bowling & Recreation Club operating at the Illawarra Yacht club for providing the funds to maintain and upgrade the weather station.
