Mark:

How do you find the locations of the towers? For instance AT&T

Scott,

There are websites that are suppose to tell you where the towers are and who the providers is but I found them very inaccurate. I drove around looking for them and at the same time watch the signal strength on the phone. The bars are not accurate enough need to look at the physical strength. Also you can tell who the provider of the antenna is in the network settings on the phone (the signal strength is also there). It was a good way to spend a hot summer afternoon.

Thanks. Signal sucks here at the house. I've been right next to a local tower (maybe 75 yds away), and dropped the call. Moved a couple hundred yards and the signal was maxed out.

Nice thing about the weather station is it includes inside temperature and will send an email when it drops below a temperature that I set. Actually many items can be set to alarm and send an email.

Mark: What weather station do you have, and what does it do about snow (if anything)?

It measure it as rain when it melts, but not much gets collected so this isn't an accurate measurement.

Probably a Davis Vantage Pro Wireless, which I also own. You can get a "bucket warmer" for this station which requires some nearby AC power to keep the tipping bucket warm enough for measuring water equivalent snow. All kinds of accessories, and I think I am going to get another station plus repeater down by the pond just for curiosity sake.

I have own my station for 8 years now, and with a few minor problems such as ants getting into the remote unit I have had not problems. Ants apparently are conductive and when they crawl across terminals make you think it is raining pretty hard out!

Anyways there are some great hobbyist/serious weather folks out there which I am one of. My station on FindU: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?CW3833
(Gap in readings were when I was down in Montgomery, AL.)
And on the Weather Underground:
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=14469 Which usually gets my station to come up.

Sooo... yes, these are highly recommended stations and are affordable for the quality. There are other stations that cost much less, but their accuracy is horrible and survival rates are miserable.

Now, before I completely thread-jack, I bring you back to your daily programming.

Mark, where in Chicagoland? I'll be headed in there probably Wed night thru Friday. I'll be near Midway Airport. If you're up that way, give me a shout and maybe we could get together for dinner or something.

Thanks guys for info on the weather stations. I've been wanting to get one for a while.

Springtime,yeah!!

We are doing try number three to stock some Wipers. The first time, 2008, when we lowered the lake to build the cabin. That year the lowered lake made a channel dry and Scott put a net across it and put in wipers when it filled. But a heavy rain washed out the net and the bass got in and wiped out the wipers.

Try two was several years ago in a separate pond on farm but apparently some bass had swum upstream from the lake when the pond was overflowing and again most were wiped out.

So now we are stocking another separate pond, a quite small one that we are sure has no bass. We stocked 100 wipers and 10lbs of fatheads. we will seine them out in a couple of months and put in the lake.

Adding the wipers




The boys and I spent the weekend and they did a little fishing.

This photo was taken April 19 and the young ones were only one day old. Only two have survived to this point.



We also have a new sign created by my niece. I think it's really cool and intend to eventually make coffee cups using the design.
