As I said before, lack of wireless will not be a "deal breaker"... but surely will be a "-1" in the evaluation.

Since I am licensed radio amateur, Telecoms Technologist and work for a small meteorological unit in a research center, it seems a very interesting project to my eyes
Have you tried this part: http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/RF/H ... manual.pdf for making your station wireless? I'm never used or tested this part by myself, but I heard good comments from some former students.
Last year we purchased at my lab 4 XBee Pro 50mW RPSMA - Series 2 (ZB) units from a http://www.digi.com local vendor for a small project that we are working now and the performance was pretty good in the initial testings. (50mW output, +17dBm)
These boards are very easy to integrate into existing systems and are fully FCC certified.
Hope this info can be useful for you.
