Yesterday Steve, Dan, and Chris sited and leveled the tower. Today we added the generator, instrumented the tower and radiation stand, pivoted it to vertical, and did a partial test of raising the tower. When we had raised the tower partway we realized that some of the zip ties we used to run cables down the tower got in the way of raising it completely:

(A little dark, but cable ties around the leg of the tower get snagged by the next section in when raising. We left the tower partially extended temporarily and powered up the DSM to check sensors. Everything was giving good data, except the power monitor, which we haven't set up yet. After that test we retracted the tower and left it vertical until our next visit. The DSM is still running and saving data locally, but is not on the network.


Still to do/notes:
