Hi Clay, Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Funny enough that same day you replied I decided to move the raspberry pi across the room and I'm amazed to see that the problem appears to be solved immediately.
I have been watching the weewx.log for months and now after moving the pi I can see more regular and consistent logging of the packets than before.. it used to be all over the place. But now, it receives a packet every 18 seconds without fail. So yes, I think you are right, the pi was in an area that had some kind of electronic or magnetic interference. Thanks again!
