| yeah, what the hell IS the deal with the Sauvie sensor anyways? How long have we been begging them to install that thing... I would much rather see the money go to getting a SI sensor. I can figure out whats going on at rooster by using all the sensors in close proximity to the site but SI is a total guessing game. Even when you think you know whats up, you just don't know. |

Adam should throw down at least $200 for when he crashes his kite into it.  |

| Wed Mar 11, 09 10:59 am SI over RR is my vote |
|

What PDXMB said. . .
I down for $20 for a SI camera and $5 for a Rooster Cam. The only things one can't determine out at RR is how many VS are in the area and how high the water is for launching proposes. |

It should be useful to check the water levels if the camera is placed correctly. |

Wow - thanks for the show of support!
We're off to a great start.
If I counted correctly that's 22 positive responses at $20 a pop - almost half way there.
With regards to Sauvie Island:
- Last I heard from Stuart at iWindurf - an SI wind sensor is at the top of his list of local projects. That being said, I don't know if or when they'll ever actually do it.
- As far as an SI webcam (or private wind sensor), besides the funding, the other crucial requirements are:
= Access - having permission to put it somewhere
= Power - access to a reliable power source
= Internet - access to an existing broadband connection
- You can go solar for power, but this is more expensive and requires more space for solar panels.
- You can go wireless for internet, but this involves ongoing monthly fees.
With Rooster, because of the good will of the OR Parks guys, we can get all the above for free - so the webcam will be free for all to use once it's purchased and installed.
It's blowing good at Rooster now - heading there this afternoon!

No more takers for the RoosterCam challenge?
Was a nice day today at Rooster - until the wind abruptly died around 2pm.
