[wxqc] Madis Check... CW6709

Wed Nov 1 20:35:48 CST 2006

Thanks Dave, Hows tonight treatin' ya?   Boy, I liked my LaCross station 
better, than the one I have now-previously-the manual included calibrations 
and such. I am so non-tech*l* just love the weather, but need my records to 
reflect accurate conditions - The LaCross station allowed manually setting 
the altitude into the base-Im at 9 meters above SL, what effect would that 
have on this -4 mm from normal- Plym is at 29.96mmHg, Marshfield @ 
29.95mmHg-mines @29.80Hgmm, look forward to hearing more from you*s*
