For you techies out there: here's how the HYC weather station functions"[/b][/b]
1. the sensors (actually in the water @ the harbor entrance) transmit to the Harbor Office computer and "weatherlink "software
2. this data is transmitted to the HYC main server via a wireless "bridge"
3. The main server connects to the internet via the server to the Weather underground network

Why we occasionally go offline:
*When the HYC server backs up  ,the Weather link program on the Harbor computer does not always restart properly and data flow ceases.
*Occasionally there may an internet( Weatherunderground) issue
*electrical storms (interferance) may "blank" out the sensor\sender temporarily
* Hardware failure (bridge) may prevent connection to the main HYC server

FYI and all you PORTS watchers: the Morgans Point Station has been active for a couple weeks

Did you know you can view pre IKE data @ HYC  KTXSHORE 1 by entering the correct date search in the Weatherunderground  date box?

   hey ya'll I know its hot but gooolly Andy******
FYI the weather station at HYC is up And running except when the main house server backup mode shuts me down (when I'm not here) Also check the map on Weatherunderground. there is another station around Red Bluff.  I think you can reach it at nichtberger.com
this is HYC station actually mounted  at the harbor entrance on the water ( unaffected by land or buildings)
