[wxqc] Fwd: Weather data quality report for 2005-04-17 -- please check warning

[Philip Gladstone]

Tom,

Your numbers look good -- the dew point is a little off, but I wouldn't 
worry about it.

However, there is a difference between your registered location (when 
you signed up with CWOP) and the locatin that you report with each 
weather message.

You can see both at:

http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/CW2967

My personal guess is that the registered location is incorrect, and the 
APRS location (what you entered into your weather station software) is 
correct.

You can also see that you have a temperature shielding problem (like 
many of us!) -- check the temperature graph shown in that page -- in 
particular, compare the daytime and nighttime portions of it.
