[RE-wrenches] Wind anemometer

[Karl Schwingel]

I have used NRG extensively over the years. I haven't done much met 
tower work in the last few years, being dedicated mostly to hot water now.
NRGsystems.com

you can buy packaged systems right there on the website
good equipment in the moderate to really expensive (as in $1800 heated 
calabrated anemometers for turbine performance verification)

if you can get or arrange a tower space, APRS has a number of 
instruments available for wind and other monitoring. www.aprsworld.com
much more economically priced.

met towers from indiana to colorado.
