The modem at this site was doing many reconnects and registrations with dyndns.org. Ling taped the modem into the router, and saw a good signal level.

Tested the rain gauge, ETI8. Saw no tips from "data_dump -i 4,80 -A" after pouring 1 liter of water in the gauge. John connected a pc to debug, and power cycled the gauge. After the power cycle it registered tips. Poured 1/2 liter (from graduated water bottle) at 22:51:52, and saw a total of 27 tips, as follows, after a delay of 1 minute 35 seconds:

PS: Gordon, Nov 18, 9:30 MST. The frequent reconnects from this site have stopped. At this time the last dyndns registration from site 4 was at 4pm yesterday. Seems that securing the modem with tape solved the problem.
