- 120: logistics, Site horizontal array, Sun 08-Apr-2007 18:25:54 PDT, Horizontal Array Lowered to Lowest Level
The east and west sections of the horizontal array where lowered to their
lowest level. The center tower sonics, TRHs, and data boxes were also lowered.
Started lowering west ~14:30. Finished up ~17:25.
- 112: logistics, Site all, Sat 07-Apr-2007 16:54:13 PDT, spraying schedule
According to Antonio, spraying was delayed due to staff schedules and didn't
end up starting until 5AM this morning. Our towers probably were sprayed from
6-7AM. They have continued spraying today (despite marginally high winds),
but will stop for an Easter break tomorrow before finishing the field. They
probably will need to spray Monday as well.
Thus, we should be able to reenter the field tomorrow late morning via the
long way around the perimeter of the field. We won't be able to take the short
cut through the trees until at least Tuesday.

Yesterday Antonio asked if he could turn off AC power to the towers while
he was digging to replace sprinkler lines near our buried cable. Since all
of our sensors are connected to batteries, this was fine. We don't know if
he actually disconnected, but we didn't notice any adverse affects.
