Started working through the burn-in punch list, with an emphasis on the sites that have been down...

s6: found that the bank2 fuse (1A) was blown, cutting off power to the FTDI board, USB devices, and of course the sensors.  Replaced with a 2A fuse.

s7: found no manfrotto and thus radiometer.  Installed the manfrotto, and had a radiometer, but not a boom or top plate, so couldn't finish the install.

s8: again, the bank2 fuse was thee culprit, and replaced with 2A.  Yes, a strange install close to trees and a steep drop to the north.  I had thought this might have been installed a bit higher on the south side of the road, but not going to change now!  Also found that the modem worked better outside the box than inside, despite a lot of towers being pretty close.  Chose to install an external omni antenna, which perked up the cell signal.  Also, as with s15 yesterday, had to uncomment the RawSampleOutputStream on the station to get data flowing to barolo.  I think Isabel also enabled the 4-hour watchdog.

Stopped for lunch at the El Capitan campground "market" and had a wicked Janga competition...

s3: needed a soil sensor installation.  Also, white tape around NR01 had popped open with the ventillation and was repaired.

s1: needed both normal and "cr" soil installation.  Fan not wired on this NR01.  Found that the OTT wasn't working, so replaced.

A pretty good day to address a lot of issues!
