Tom SheppardLooks like the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) either sold my email address or was hacked and the address was stolen. Either way, I'm now getting spam to that unique address. I've stopped sending them my weather data.
AI6YR Ben@alex @stacey_campbell So circling in @adamfast (another METAR software developer), since you guys are all here, does anyone know where to pull RAWS and/or CWOP data? (I have considered pulling it from APRS, but that is a long route to that info). #wx #cwop #raws #metar #wxsoftware
@sunguramy So, it looks to me that the two options that do not require a lot of technology futzing are:
1. Vantage Vue Weather Station with Weatherlink Console (6242M) $695 (out of your budget)
or
2. Ambient Weather WS-2902 $189.99

Connecting that to CWOP here:

I have not used the Ambient Weather stations, myself, but I have seen some people like them. (I have a AcuRite stations I have wired up to Raspberry Pi, which is well beyond your "not a techy person" parameters)
