Friday with Kurt, Chris, Jesse, SteveO, John. Started about 0830, worked through until 1500 to give enough time to return the rental truck.
Drove second truckload into the field with all sensors. Fairly quickly discovered that the U-bolts we intended to use to mount all A-tower booms didn't have the back "strap" and thus couldn't be used. Placed an order for more, but they won't be here until at least Monday. So, in the meantime:
- Put TRHs at each site with their appropriate booms. They are simply strapped on the tower with cable ties for the weekend.
- Handars also placed but only strapped
- Installed sonic clamps/booms/arrays at the C tower and all A towers that had clamps (4? sites)
- Left a cache at the main tower of all remaining sonics/kryptons/licors/barometers
- Left stuff for one barometer at the C tower.
- Moved A17 into position
- Staked all solar panels
- Spooled out some of the AC cable from the C transformer
- Wired solar panels at A18 and A19
So, remaining tasks are:
- Spool out remaining AC cable (now at base trailer) to tower C
- Wire solar panels at A1, A4?, A17, A15? when we get cable
- Add all sensors to M tower
- Mount TRHs the correct way at all A towers
- Mount sonics on most A towers
- Mount all barometers
- Possibly move all battery boxes to solar panels (allows the DSMs to be moved high on the towers)
