I've gone the home built route.  Currently finishing my radiation shield for
the therm and the mast is pretty much complete.  I used a 1/2" galvanized
steel pipe painted white which will be clamped to the chimney.  I've mounted
the anemometer and have modified the rain gauge to mount on the end of a
pipe that screws into a t section.  I just need to let the paint dry and
work out the grounding details.  I've got 2 grounding rods and I'm thinking
of using the one that is not being used rather than grounding it to my
telecom/power ground.

Any thoughts on that?


I also bought all my parts from hobby-boards, will be getting a baro here
soon once the mast is up.
