My rainfall totals have lined up fairly well with the SBP data since I installed my equipment in July, 2006. Data logging would add about $200 to the $250 cost of my station. An old PC could connect the logger to my DSL connection. Thus, the cost estimates that you have provided seem on the high side.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Gene Nelson KE5HXX, San Luis ObispoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
