I am writing this software mainly for my pesonal use, but have decided that I would like to make it available for everyone who would like to use it.
First software released to public is “OE9IHR eQSL downloader”, that you can use to download QSL cards from eQSL.cc.

You can find all the software on my Download page.
There is also a support page and discussion forum.

Weather station again On Line

Since June 2022 my weather station is on line and uploading again.

After moving to out house in February 2015 I didn’t upload weather data until 01.06.2022.
Before moving to our house I was using an old Dell notebook, running Windows 7 and WSWin32 to download data from my TFA Nexus weather station and upload it toInternet.

Since June 2022 I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 to download the data. Onec downloaded the data is than processed und uploaded using WeeWX.

You can find the uploaded data here.
