74: RADAR, Site OV2, Mon 17-Apr-2006 00:01:39 GMT, Checked antenna level
In the photos I took yesterday, the trailer looked a little crooked, so
I checked it with the level today.  The trailer is at 1.7 to 2 degrees
off level, but the antenna itself is within 0.2 degrees of level, in
both directions.

I think we need to mount the level sensor for the automatic jacks to the 
antenna instead of the trailer.

70: MISS MOVE, Site OV2, Sat 15-Apr-2006 00:08:03 GMT, MISS moved to OV2 site
MISS moved to OV2, 1.7 miles up Onion Valley Rd from Hwy 395.

Surface met started around 23:30 and profiler around 23:55 (Apr 14).

Lat 36d 47.28m N 
Lon 118d 13.32m W
Alt 1335m

Trailer orientation is 152 degrees - almost the same as the orientation
when it was here last.

Antenna settings:

y38 y22 152
x25 x21 242
y26 332
x37 62

The profiler is getting good data - some clutter in the x25 (south-west),
but not much in the other beams.

The few several cycles had no interference but then we started getting 
occasional periods of it - probably the same RFI that has been bothering
ISS2 for the last few days.  It's not continuous (although is fairly stable
in frequency when it occurs) so it probably isn't ISS2 or MAPR. 
NIMA has been cleaning up the RFI we see at ISS2 so it'll probably
handle it here.

Move carried out by Mike, Bill, Serena, and Alex.
