Default Re: weather station & antenna mounting?

When I used my weather station I placed the antenna on the trailer roof as part of my weekend routine set-up. In other words, I removed it from the box at the beginning of the race weekend, placed it on the roof and then placed it in the box as I was packing up readying to depart.

For the wind gauge, etc, I found that the gauge would fit nicely on the end of a piece of galvanized wire conduit. As part of my packing/unpacking/setup routine, I would go through these steps each race. I bought an 8 foot galvanized conduit, set it up as a removable piece of equipment on the front of the trailer with removable conduit straps pre drilled into the trailer skin with the original trailer screws. The conduit end rested on the ground, secured by the straps in two locations while mounted to the front of the trailer and the weather station gauge affixed to the top of the conduit.

Never had any issues with the gauge/antenna etc due to weather. It was a consistent placement on the trailer each time.

Hope this helps and is the info you were searching for.
