unknown.  Users should use the remaining data from these days with caution.

The wind direction is flatlining and wind speed occasionally does not compare well with 
co-located ECOR.  Problems with the height of the mount caused the vane to impact the bird 
deterrent spikes and "catch".  Symptoms appear as winds coming out of a 255 to 270
