Post Altitude, weather, and performance

Just wanted you guys to have access to some helpful links for comparing performance under different conditions.
http://www.whowon.com
You can find the elevation of most tracks here by doing a search.
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/elp/wxcalc/stnpress.html
This will convert the Barometric pressure given by TV and radio stations back to real pressure. Just put in the reported pressure (I'll use 30.00 as an example) enter the altitude (I'm at 800') and get the real pressure of 29.15.

There are several weather correction programs out there, I have this one but it hasn't been working for me lately. http://www.sura.org/~grippo/etmphcorr.html
If you know of any others please post a link.
Thanks, Russ
