G3OJZ WX Station Folkestone

G3OJZ WX G3OJZ WX Station, located in Capel Le Ferne near Folkestone.

Brian G3OJZ has been running this weather station for many years, and transmitting the data using UIVIEW. Please send reports directly to Brian G3OJZ

The Weather Station at G3OJZ has been running for the  last 6 years and uses a WM-918 unit with some slight modifications  to the rain collection bucket to improve accuracy.

The rain bucket is mounted on the garage roof and the temperature sensor is on the North side of the house in a position that never gets sunshine. The wind speed and direction  arm is mounted on a mast above the roof.

The WX software is linked to UI-View which automatically  sends the updated information in the form of an APRS beacon  on 144.800 MHZ every 14 mins. When this beacon is received by Matt M1CMN it is decoded in UI-View and with the help of  additional UI-View add on software sent to his server.
