Data from the 7m TRH has been intermittent for more than a month.

Here's a typical dropout, where the unit quits reporting, then 15
hours later comes alive, with startup messages:

Email from Ned:
the TRH at 7m now seems to be re-appearing during the night time and then at about 8am it drops out again...

My guess is that it is a power problem, either in the cable, or corrosion in the unit. This unit and
cable was replaced on 7/22. The problem before was different, looking like a RS232 problem, where
I don't think we saw the bootup messages we're seeing now. https://wiki.ucar.edu/x/vBWdAw
