Photos of Tempest Installations :tempest:

This is great, I’ve been looking for a new mast to mount my Tempest higher. It shows this is 1 and 1/3 diameter. Specs listed for Tempest show the max outer diameter for a mast is 1.315 inches. Will it work with Tempest?

He and many of us wouldn’t recommend it if it didn’t work.

It is a very snug fit. On one of my old Sky units, I had to completely unscrew the clamping ring/nut, slip it onto the mast, then slip the clamping fingers on the mount over the mast before screwing the ring/nut back on…

Since bringing my old station back to life (last was working September 2020). I finally got it mounted again at this new house. Not a lot of options for placement here due to a very small backyard.

I had my Tempest at my old house at 27 feet on my roof. At my new home, it’s about 4 feet off the ground. When I purchase a new fence post, it’ll be placed at 6 feet.

New setup from Florence AL

Used vinyl coated top rail fence post from Lowes and some rubber plumbing collars so I would not have to drill into my new aluminum fence.

“Sunrise on the Tempest”
Just set this up a couple of days ago in Hendersonville NC, replacing my Davis Vantage Vue. Installation was a piece of cake and no problem connecting it to Weather Underground. Interesting how the haptic sensor reported precipitation the other day when it was sleeting, and the tipping bucket sensors around me showed nothing.
