- 68: RADAR, Site ISS2 (Puerto Penasco), Mon 19-Jul-2004 22:08:16 GMT, PROFILER BACKUP AND DOWN TIME
Paused POP from 2105Z to 2200Z for data backup.
Wrote 2 CD's
------------
NAME_PP01 Contains D04188 - D04196 (July 6-14, 2004).
NAME_PP02 Contains D04197 - D04200 (July 15-18, 2004).
I made two copies of NAME_PP01 BUT when I tried to make a second copy
of NAME_PP02 I was getting a windows error: unable to read the disk file.
The happened three times (with three CD's). I deleted the files in NAME_PP01
but not those in NAME_PP02. However, there appear to be good copies of all the
data on the first written CD and on the ISS-2 workstation (/iss/ds/spc/).
The backups look correct on the GLASS CD drive. I will run them through POP
on my laptop this evening.
Disk write was 58.1%; is now 20.7% (1.5GB free)

PROFILER
05:40 UT Replaced RX/TX unit with fresh unit from Boulder
Increased SNR, although noise and signal increased in lowest few gates to the extent that there was no SNR.
06:01 Decreased postblank from 700 to 400
A little better in lower gates.
06:09 Increased postblank up to 1000
A little better again in lower gates?!
06:20 Increased gain inside RX/TX unit
Better SNR again.
We'll leave it like this overnight to test it out.
