Weather Station removed for upgrade
The Weather Station has been removed for an anemometer upgrade. The current low-tech reed switch anemometer is proving to be inaccurate in winds above 25kph. It will be replaced with a pulse-type anemometer, which should be more accurate. Moving the temperature and humidity sensors outside is also planned. On the plus-side, the communications link works well and the mobile phone data usage is much lower than expected.
Cows At Tharwa
Some of the mowing folks saw evidence that the farmer has cows in his field adjoining our flying strip but yesterday it was very obvious! The entire strip on the farmer’s side of the electric fence was covered with cow s*%t and there were hoof imprints all over the place on the strip.
When I was packing up after flying I raised the electric fence to its maximum height in the (vain?) hope of discouraging them from coming onto our field. It looked like there were about 50-60 cows waiting to eat.
