[wxqc] Correct anemometer height

[gary.oldham at adelphia.net]

33 ft./10 meters is the international standard, but also factored in is distance from nearby obstacles.  Really the best thing to do is to read the CWOP Instrument Siting Guide which gives good advice about placement of all weather instrumentation.  The document can be had at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dshelms/CWOP_Guide.pdf

Can someone tell me what the proper height of the anemometer should be.  Currently mine is at the top of a 4"x4" wooded post about six feet off the ground.  I would like to increase that height to get more "official" readings.
