Wireless, Solar-Powered Wunder Station

We don't normally encourage “home users", but this guy is a serious weather buff and willing to spend the big bucks to invest in a professional weather station!

A lifelong passion to experience, enjoy and measure the weather

Michael Koenig began building his own weather instruments in early grade school. Growing up in a family of farmers in the Midwest, where being keen on weather was critical to their livelihood, Michael says that his interest in weather was “already in (his) DNA!”

Michael went on to work at several TV stations as a broadcast engineer, eventually becoming an electronics technician for 41 years. “I hung out a lot around the weather radar and weather station equipment,” he says.

Recently retiring to southwest Florida, a region known for it's stormy weather, Michael reached out to CWS to acquire a high-performance station, eventually selecting an Orion Weather Station.

Easy Installation
The organized packaging, labeled components, and convenient laminated station diagram were helpful for a smooth installation, Michael noted. He had the station up and running the afternoon after he received it, “just in time for a typical afternoon Florida thunderstorm to rumble through!”

A “Stellar” Product
It has been “a lifelong passion to experience, enjoy and measure the weather” Michael says. With the move to Florida, he now has “the best of the best weather station” to continue to do so.

“Each new storm keeps the passion going after over 50 years of monitoring the weather,” Michael comments. “Thanks for delivering a stellar product. I can't think of a more capable station for southwest Florida!”
