presented on weather station

At the RASC Toronto Centre's members' night meeting, I delivered a presentation on the Oregon Scientific eb313hg Portable Weather Station. I relayed the details of the "group buy" offer made by Radio World. Got 2 people signed up on the spot...

Theresa and Brian came out. They brought their Kestrel 4000 weather station—the Ferrari of portable weather analysers! We showed it beside my "low end" unit.

Good questions during the presentation. For example, one person asked if my Oregon portable unit used the atomic time clock signals. I said I didn't think so and promised to remove the batteries to try it.

* Not that that means anything...
