Good wind direction: The standard function reports 53 hours (23
unstable, 30 stable) in this configuration, all but 3 segments shorter
than 2.5 hours. Note that our longest segment changed from 820 min
to 650 min now that I've entered boom angles -- a big change for only
a few degrees of reorientation! However we have had some sensors and
data systems down so the actual numbers would be lower.

days to improve the spectra. We're now using a 25 liter reservoir
that we built from ABS pipe and stuffed with steel wool. However,
variation of the reference pressure (presumably due to tubing temperature
changes) still is about 3 times the variation of the static pressure.
We sacrificed the sensor at 11b to have it measure the reference pressure
so that we might be able to recover this signal.

down due to a certain SE trying to help. We've replaced the Viper CPU
board so hopefully it will work tonight.
