This done from about 2:30-4:30 with Steve S&O and Kurt.  Soil samples taken – will update gravimetric posting.  Queried each soil sensor for IDs (since I had to look at the Qsoil values anyway) into minicom capture file (attached: ehsteardown.cap)

Problem soil sensors at this site have been:

Tsoil.0.6cm (SN 12, epoxy-coated, upside down):  Didn't work from a few hours after installation until it revived itself ~3 weeks later.  Ran fine until tear-down (including the manual reading I took during tear-down).  Back in the lab, nothing is visually wrong with this probe.

Qsoil.5cm (SN 12): Worked fine for the first 3 weeks, then started dropping data (for hours at a time) during last 3 weeks.  Worked during the manual reading during tear-down.  In lab, the Binder connector was not fully seated – pulled out by about 0.7mm.  Sorry, I forgot to inspect it during the actual tear-down.  This is a post-mortem item – to inspect that each Binder is fully seated during probe installation.
