Weather CAMS - CASA has no interest?
Obviously Airservices will only be putting them in where they already have a comms facility site.
To put them in at other places would have significant costs, and who pays?

How much?
No idea cost but with travel, hardware and setup I wouldn't imagine there would be much change left over from 5-10k each.
... and a project like this of this magnitude would probably cost $50-100k in project management alone, particularly if it requires the design of some physical structure.
It would be nice if they could put some money into Ben Quinn's weathercamnetwork to fix all his broken cameras as they would fill in a lot of gaps between BOM weather station camera sites.
Around Brisbane, I sorely miss his Kalbar, Kilcoy, Redcliffe, Noosa and Point Halloran East cameras.

Watts Bridge (YWSG) are putting a mount up for a wx Cam and wx station at the moment. Maybe a month or so till it goes live. Thanks to Dick Smiths donation.
ASA are working on linking other sites to their network, so there maybe a few extras on line during the year.

Not as bad as this on the Airservices Weather Cam;
On the Cleveland Weather site;
Of course VFR pilots really want to know the weather is like at night through the Kilmore Gap.

Now just need to work out how to view them in Ozrunways for Android... 
(I have tapped the camera icon on the drag-out list).

Come on ozrunways. Tell us why all the AsA cameras don't seem to appear
Let's see if we can get a camera in the Mittagong area . Personally I don't need it as I have lots of friends in the area I can phone but there must be some pilots who need the Wx and don't have any local contacts.

Received this during the week from Ozrunways...
"
New Webcams
We have published new webcams installed at various airports. We have also modified our servers to easily add new ones.
If you are a flying club and have a still image camera that you would love everybody to see in OzRunways, please email [email protected] with the URL, Name, Lat/Lon, Direction & Update frequency."
It seems it is going to happen. I have sent all the details for the Rylstone webcams and received a reply saying its with the coders to integrate it. It seems they are just a bit busy. It will be a very good platform to view weather cams on when it happens.
Interestingly I have noticed the ones at Canberra that were installed at the weather station location at the airport are no longer available on Ozrunways. Hopefully they reappear.
Yes, we do need more scattered around the country rather than the concentration of them in the same areas.

Lots of these cameras don't seem to appear on Ozrunways. Anyone know why?
Update: We've talked to Dick and are working with all the relevant players to try and make this happen asap.

Needs to have a time stamp I think.
Well, yes - I did find it - with the bifocals and a magnifying glass!
I used the 'Comments' to suggest that the 30% section of the ground was useful for watching the grass grow but could also be a good spot for the Date/Time to be blazed across - with an update interval included.
Waiting - for the grass.........

I wonder if that is an Airservices licensing thing that caused the issue?
