Sensor Notes
The Sensor is located on the NW corner of the J.G. Goff Pub located next to Northwind Sports.
The sensor has over water fetch and reads well at all directions from due South to the west and around to the NNE. Due to buildings up wind, any readings from the NE to the SSE will be partially obstructed.
