Welcome to the Beals Family website.
Why Beals5? The explanation
Weather station project This is a
project I started with a friend for fun and it is about to be a full-blown kit
available for sale by the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR) group. See the
link below to hopefully get the live (and 5 past days worth of) weather.
Weather at our house
(Currently off-line) With any luck,
this is the current weather at our house. This data is gathered by my
weather sensor project (above), transmitted via ham radio from Denver down
to Colorado Springs, relayed via the internet from there to Miami, then parsed
by another server in the Atlanta area to show you the data. Cool part is
that I've been able to get that weather on trips to places like France and
Japan. It's nice having a link to home while away on business.
Where am I?
(Currently off-line)
Beside weather, another neat thing you can do using APRS on ham radio is
to broadcast where you are. For houses this isn't very exciting, but if
you use a GPS receiver in your car to get your position then APRS to transmit
it to the world, you can track someone on the web as they drive around.
The above link will look for the latest position of a transmitter in my car,
I only transmit while driving, and then forget to turn the radio on sometimes.
If the data is old I havn't moved for a while.
Flume Placer Civic Association
The homepage for the project to get the bylaws for this association rewritten.
This is the distribtion point. Nothing very exciting unless you are an FPCA
member.
