• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Dear Chasers


I want to know something real simple if your going to use the weather equipment from R.M. Young is it better to go with the aspirated S Shield that the guys at NSSL use using parts from local Home depot and a Brushless fan from Radio Shack to build it 3 to 3 1/2 "ch PVC pipe to put the R.M.Young Temp/Humidity sensor in OR do you chasers like the multi plate Radiation Shield that R.M.young sells model # 41003 that is the one that they are reccomending to me and i'm just curious on what all of you chasers think. I like the NSSL S shield personally. If I could get some feedback I would appreciate it.

As long as the S shield is made properly, I think both options would be nearly identical. I would think the S shield would protect your instruments from any wind blown precip a little better than a multi-plate radiation shield. Not sure how well the "natural ventilation" works on the R.M. Young radiation shield, but they make some quality stuff, so either option would probably be fine. I'm also not sure what this data is being used for, but if it's mainly for recreation/reporting to the station, you're probably not gonna notice a difference.
