I took a trip to station 6 to rotate the krypton 90
degrees so it agrees with the alignment of the other
kryptons.
A soil sample was taken.
I also took a boom alignment measurement with the

The Gill sonic boom was extended because of guywire interference.
After modifying, the krypton was moved to within 60 cm of
sonic. There was not enough play in the tripod legs to level the sonic.
The level results: pitch - -0.2, roll 0.3 to the north.
The soldn was leveled.
The krypton windows were cleaned to verify the sensor output. It
did respond to the cleaning.
