[Elecraft] Elecraft compatible WX station

[Gary Ferdinand]

I’ve had a Vantage Pro 2 (wireless), a side-kick Anemometer (wireless) and they’ve been literally directly under my multi band wire with power levels up to 1500 watts. The exciter is a K3.  Never an issue for me at all.   As for reliability, I’ve had to replace one humidity sensor in 8 years of operation.
