Completed to-do list for today 

 

Site 1

Capped off a connector at the mote with tape to protect it.

Site 8 

Measured azimuth angles for 3m and 10m 3D sonics. They measured 222 degs and 308 deg, respectfully.

Site 11

We found the data had kept recording at this site, although it wasn't be seen over the network. The modem would not connect, and the net_check.sh script (runs at 40 minutes after the hour) would not bring the connection up. Unplugging and re-plugging the modem  did the trick.  The CPU at this site is a viper.

On the status web page for the modem, the signal strength was -102 db (showing between 2 and 3 bars) with SNR of 0 for the existing 6" antenna. We connected a larger 12" whip antenna, and held it up by hand.  There was no increase in gain so we left it with the 6" antenna. Perhaps hand holding the antenna was not a good test (a worse ground plane than the installed antenna?).

The system battery voltage measured was approx 13 volts (the power monitor on S11 is out).

Site 15

Measured azimuth angels for 3m and 10m sonics, they were 225 deg and 309 deg respectfully. 

Cleaned the radiometers at 4:46 pm EDT.
