[wxqc] CW7166 off the air (for now)

I am getting spikes of erroneous data, the last two nights I got gusts of
wind at 61, and 62mph respectively. Problem is that it didn't really happen;
I think I would have noticed a gust like that when the ambient wind was less
than 20mph.

In the past some of my temp and dew point readings have had similar
anomalous spikes (such as a moment of freezing temperature in June in
Arizona).

I just figure that if I cannot send reliable data, then it is safer to send
no data at all.

I am posting this just in case someone tries to interpret these last two
gusts as real (there were thunderstorms in the area). My recent data should
be rejected as untrustworthy. 

I am in the middle of building my own station using one-wire technology, so
I will be back on line as my hobby time permits.
