APRS Weather Station Down

My Lacrosse Technology WS-2810u weather station had a major malfunction.  The wind sensor and main outside thermohygrometer stopped talking to the main inside unit.  After replacing batteries and resetting the sensors they still would not communicate.  After taking apart the anemometer it appears the reset button was not working.  It is now fixed and back together.  The station is inside and currently all sensors are connected. If they all stay connected while inside to night then tomorrow they will go back outside and should be back in full operation.

APRS.fi Screen Shot of Return Trip from California

Took a vacation to see family in the California Bay Area.  Even included a stop at Ham Radio Outlet Sunnyvale to look at all the new radios that have come out.  After returning home I pulled up the aprs.fi map of my track and have included a screen shot of it below.  Click on it to see the journey and thanks for everyone who maintains digipeaters and igates along the way that I used!
