Second Weather Station Online — Raddy WF-100C Joins the Shack
Exciting update from the shack: I’ve just installed a second weather station, the Raddy WF-100C, and it’s now fully operational!
My first station, a TFA Nexus, has been running smoothly for years, quietly collecting and uploading weather data that’s been incredibly useful for both: everyday monitoring and ham radio operations—especially during severe weather or propagation shifts.
The new Raddy WF-100C brings some additional features to the table. Along with standard measurements like temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and rainfall, it also tracks UV index and solar radiation—valuable data for anyone interested in how solar activity might correlate with HF conditions.
Currently, the WF-100C is uploading live data to:
So why a second station?
- Redundancy — Always good to have a backup, especially during storms.
- Extended coverage — This one is located in a different part of the property, giving a broader look at local conditions.
- More sensor data — UV and solar readings are new and already proving interesting.
- Experimentation — Because when you’re a ham, there’s always something to tinker with!
At the moment, the WF-100C doesn’t support direct integration with WeeWX, which I’ve been using and customizing for a while. I’m currently exploring workarounds to get its data into WeeWX—ideally this would open the door to APRS weather beacon integration down the line. If anyone out there has tips or experience with this model and WeeWX, I’d love to hear from you.
I’ll be sharing more data comparisons between the Nexus and the WF-100C soon, maybe even a review or a technical deep dive.
Until then, feel free to check out the live weather data:
