Hi Dennis, We are quite interested in exploring station at www.ncyc.ca. The regular weather stations and private Weather Underground stations are physically far away. The North Channel NOAA style Environment Canada Weather Buoy is our current go to for current weather.
Our club is remote enough that neither cable, fibre nor digital phone internet are available. We do have a cell internet hub with 50G a month under a special remote and rural internet access program. We are curious how much data is used in a day/week/month connecting the weather information to Weather Underground?
