Just had my visit 10:30 this AM. Looks like it’ll sit about 2mtrs above the guttering on a bracket that has two mounts to the pole and two arms out to...
Actually this would be a job for Windsave! They could lend you a house mounted mast for a returnable deposit. I used a Rutland 903 borrowed from a friend. ...
Building a small pole isn’t a problem as I have the tools and materials it was just the data logging anemometer I was short of, Maybe I’ll do as you ...

Hi Gang, I've just sent off for a twin anemometer wind speed logging system from a company called www.windsurvey.co.uk, check out their website. I've gone for...
This still seams very expensive for what is a very simple device (the wind speed part anyhow) as all you have to do is count rotations for a given time span...
... I guess a fair bit of the cost is the software, which isn't particularly useful from my point of view as I don't use Windows. I guess it should be...
I plan to do some trials up on the moors in the car with my wind instrument and a hand held wind speed device and work out pulse per min per mph etc etc IF you...
