Generator running roughly around 10Z. A couple of times it almost stopped running, and the UPS started beeping. Turning off the heater seems to help, so am leaving that off for now. Given that it's -7C outside and windy, the container will cool down. Turned everything considered non-essential off - unfortunately that included the power supply for the GPS and WXT, so we didn't get surface met data for a few hours (approx 11Z - 1330Z).
IOP 16 and 17 in data and tklog do not match PLOWS Field Catalog numbers! The C130 did a WCR calibration flight on Feb 1 and apparently it was decided that mission was called IOP 16. Therefore the IOP-16 in our data (Feb 4 - 6 at Franklin IN) is offically IOP 17. IOP-17 in our data (Feb 8 - 10 at Fort Atkinson WI) is offically IOP 18.
Generator getting rougher. Actually cut out and had to be restarted May have to shutdown to attemp a fix. Intend replacing fuel filter first to see if that fixes problem The system was shutdown at 18:30z while the fuel filter in the generator was replaced. The problem is still there but not as bad. So the problem may also be the in line filter under the trailer. I do not have a spare for this with me but will ship one out on tuesday with instruction on replacement. I can try one other possibility which I intend to try on Sunday. This will be running on the day tank. System was restarted at approx 19z Replaced fuel filter at main tank pump. Noticed ice accumulation in old filter. Added dry gas product to remove water from tank and lines after replacing filter. Ran generator again for several hours and have not experienced any problems.
