sorry for the slow response, got dealing with other stuff. The Peet Bros wind vane, looks fine from the ground. However the wind direction is normally wrong. But sometimes right (often when very windy), but then wrong later again etc etc. The wind speed seems OK... Although it does sound a bit rattlely.
So the peet bros wind vane is difficult to get in the UK and it hasn't been up for very long before it starting playing up. So thought maybe I could change to a davis one and use that with the peet bros kit, however that sounds like it wont work.
