[BC] The Worst I've Ever Seen!

[Mark Croom]

Yes I have wondered the same thing. These little anemometry "poles" seem to
just spring up out of nowhere. I've never managed to catch a crew actually
putting one up, but I can think of a half-dozen around the area I service
where they are considering wind turbine installations. Usually they take
wind data at a site for a year or two before they finally commit to build
the turbines. We had some of this stuff on one of our towers for well over
two years before they had enough data to know for sure what they wanted to
do. The owner of the stuff was a specialty company that did nothing but
anemometery for renewable energy companies.
