Ended up in southwestern Oklahoma.  Not much came from the day.  Thought we were going to have something there for about 15 minutes, with a nice wall cloud developing, but then it all just kinda went away.  No tornadoes reported whatsoever, so that tornado watch was blown!

The above pic was taken at sunset west of the Wichita Mountains.  About the best image I got out of the day.  There was nearly zero lightning after dark.

Streamed video on TVN with some good success in the EVDO networks out there.  I had some GPS issues though with Delorme.   The Delorme Serial Emulator just doesn’t not work properly on Vista, and they haven’t updated the thing in a long time.   As a result, I can only use the GPS on one application at a time.  So I went ahead and ordered a real GPS that should alleviate that issue.

Also just a side note.  Found EVDO in some places I didn’t have it last year.  Most notably was Lawton, Oklahoma; Wichita Falls, TX and Seymour, TX (very surprised at that one!).  Also have continuous data from Wichita Falls to Lubbock.  There are no more data holes along US82 that entire route!

  1. I was surprised too to find coverage much more solid in SW OK and alot of that being EVDO is just icingon the cake. 🙂 Now if we can just get the upper air pattern straightened out…..
