Weather: Hot and humid, scattered cumulus and cumulonimbus throughout both days

Issues:

  • Began final plumbing of Lower Convergence Tower yesterday. Discovered slight rocking in concrete blocks upon full tension which made it impossible to properly plumb tower.

Tasking for 09/04 & 09/05:

  • (09/04)- Blocks were not fully buried when rocking issue was discovered. Reduced tension on all guy wires for 20m towers to allow blocks to resettle
  • (09/04)- Buried blocks with packed dirt
  • (09/05)- Added a screw anchor and ratchet strap to the back side of the block to act as a safety if tamped dirt is insufficient
  • (09/05)- Instrumented Upper Convergence Tower
