[wxqc] starting again

I guess that could work, but it wouldn't in my case. Those cables are
40 feet long, right? My anemometer is at 40' and the ISS at 6' or 7'.
That's a difference of 33', but the anemometer is mounted on a pole on
the peak of my roof, and the ISS is in the middle of the backyard
(about 30 feet horizontally, I think), so the cable wouldn't be long
enough. But I suppose I could put the sensors in a third location. It
just seems so obvious, though, that they should go just above the
anemometer.
