[wxqc] Dewpoint Readings

[Dan Crooks]

I use Weather-Display software
<http://www.weather-display.com/index.php>that incorporates
VPLive <http://www.pensom.org/weather/vptools/vplive.html>.  You can see the
drastic improvement in my data
here<http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/C1789>
.
I am very impressed with Steve's software for the VP series.
