news:njKxd.4997$iD.211@fed1read05...
our local airport 61B (Boulder NV) has an "automated Unicom" system, on

the
CTAF freq, it calls out winds and altimeter setting, not sure it could

do
visibility or cloud height. But it has to be activated by a radio
transmission on the CTAF freq. If it hears radio transmission activity,

it
jumps in periodically with the wind information.


I imagine you could make a home grown station like this using a PC, a PC
interfaced weather station, and a voice synthesizer interfaced to the
radio... maybe someone already markets one like that.


Yeah...and if you can fit some sort of internet connection, you can
fit some sort of webcam to have a look what it's like outside.
