[wxsig] Wind application

[Gerry Creager]

If you're looking at a Davis VP/VP-II or a Vaisala WXT-510, the weather 
station and a Linksys NSLU2 would comprise the "computer" hardware, and 
some form of wireless ethernet or serial link could do the comms.  In 
the ham radio realm, the KPC-3+ tnc can handle a weather station pretty 
easily, then add a radio.

Zigbee is a very short-range option.  The reference to 100 ft is pretty 
optimistic, in my experience.

Something like the link Bob provided is promising for an integrated data 
radio.
