[wxqc] starting again

[Milford Weather]

I also have extended my UV and Solar about 150' in order to get good
exposure and to leave my ISS in its best location.  I used cat 5 cable and
ran it about a year ago without issue.  FYI, you can only have one ISS.

You can get/make much longer cables for the Davis instruments. An associate 

of mine has a cable 125 feet long between his model 6152 anemometer and his 

rainbucket/thermometer assembly.
