ITW weather station
The weather station has been finally installed at ITW and is now fully operative Smile Smile Smile
The pole on which the sensor has been installed is about 10 m - 33 ft from main road SS45BIS and about 5 m - 16 ft from house's fence, out of air space of BASE jumpers Cool (who wants to understand, can understand Cool Cool Cool )
The control panel where all the weather data (wind spee, wind direction, pressure, humidity, weather forecast, etc) can be read is located inside the Bar Parete Zebrata, and is available to be read by anyone within the opening time of same Bar.
It is a very useful instrument that provides very important data for BASE jumpers safety.
Please, have extreme care of it.
We (IBA (Italian BASE Association)) thank everybody who has contributed to realize this project partecipating to the money collection "proposed" by myself (aka #689 Smile ), we thank the Municipality of Dro to have granted the permits (for the installation) and we thank the Bar's girls, Nadia and Patrizia, for their availability and helpfulness.

That's awesome.

Are there many jumpers there between now and say 10th April? I hope to spend a week there but cannot afford it if I am the only one there.

3 euro a call is cheap RobiTongue.
