The weather station PC has been fixed and the weather station and webcams are operational again. (31/3/2023)
We are thinking about a temporary measure to move the wx station sensor suite 15m away, but leave the anemometer where it is. I am not sure if this will work or not... . (19/1/2023)
The "shrubbery" round the weather station has been causing problems:
- Rain gauge readings (lots of debris was blocking it) - FIXED for now
- Solar radiation readings (the trees are blocking the low sun)
- Wind readings (but not sure how bad this affect is)
- Solar panels (with some sun being blocked they may not supply enough power to charge the batteries/supercapacitor
(since at least Oct 2022)

Aiming to get new cameras north-side again by the end of next Spring.
(Still need to choose location and we might as avoid winter weathering of the new webcam(s))

Relocate station (hopefully only a few metres away)
(To fix the problems stated above)
Use PTZ camera better
(Now it is up the 10m mast. It gives a near 360° view of the airfield and horizon and covers most of the areas that the fixed cameras don't)
Get rid of old south-side internet connection. YEAH!
Install new network and PC north-side
Install new north-side cameras (temporarily? ...)

The anemometer was fixed, but the wind direction needs tuning (it is probably within 20 degrees). (9/7/2020)
