Not a plus model, but I did think of doing something like that - the PTT
'OR' as well. But then it wouldn't really count as a quick and dirty
solution, would it? =]
It's working well enough for now. Though I think I might tweak it a bit to
average the wind direction over a longer period. Not sure what the standard
is, if any.
