- 38: LOG, Site base, Wed 29-Dec-2004 12:45:50 AST, Freewave/SPol test
We just pointed SPol to our site (az=125.5deg):
16:28:00 - pointed to site, transmitting
16:30:45 - data glitch
16:31:50 - transmitter turned off
16:33:00 - another data glitch
16:34:30 - transmitter back on?
But, in the process, I noticed that the Freewave was pointing ~20deg South of
the SPol antenna. I just realigned our antenna to this bearing (but still
am seeing glitches!!! :( :( :(
- 34: LOG, Site base, Tue 28-Dec-2004 16:24:33 AST, lots of data transmission errors
I'm now seeing LOTS of data errors on the 10s data -- about every 2 min.
They've been happening all afternoon. Perhaps it is related to the rainy
weather we've been having today (as opposed to clear yesterday). I just tried
cycling power on the base's Freewave, which is showing Green carrier-detect,
Off data-transmit, and Red (occasionally blinking off) clear-to-send. All but
the clear-to-send appear normal to me.
- 33: LOG, Site base, Tue 28-Dec-2004 12:42:00 AST, aster crash
I closed the lid when I was done with the aster base this morning, which
apparently put it in suspend. It was down for 2 1/2 hours. Sorry (but there
wasn't a note saying not to do this...there is now).
