I can but choose not to climb. Something like a Hazer for your weather
station would do the trick. Alternatively you could rig the station to
a short pole which is then hoisted like sailboats hoists a pennant to
the mast head. Easy to lower for maintenance and then return to elevated
service. Someone would have to climb te tower to te elevation you
prefer just one time to mount a pulley.

The rain gauge accuracy is less than expected when compared to other gauges I
have. It may need a standoff to put it farther from tower leg. Also, I am
thinking about raising it to near the top of the tower (150 feet), but am
concerned about maintenance issues (too old to climb anymore).

Subject: [TowerTalk] weather station on tower?
Hi All -- I'm thinking of putting up a weather station at my QTH, and connecting it with
WUnderground.com (as in "W"eather Underground).
I want to know wind speed and direction at or near my tower and _ON_ the
tower will give the most accurate data, it seems.
Questions:
* anyone notice interaction/RFI issues of a USB-connected weather station on a
tower or close to it?
* what experiences do you all have?
* the WUnderground.com site has a number of suggested weather station packages
-- any others you like?
