10m atiK is dead since this AM -- reason unknown, but rain/water problems likely.

66: sonics, Site willow, Tue 10-Aug-2004 15:03:44 MDT, windsonic format change
about 20min ago, steve and I just changed the format of the windsonic from
spd,dir to u,v.  I'll change prep.config (I don't think channel config needs
to change) to the current value.  Note that this could necessitate a change
in ops, but I won't worry about this for the moment.

Processed with my bearing.q S-function, I get:
where ("ds") is the datascope reading and others are based on sextant sightings
of the object by the column name.  In general, the angles are within 2 degrees.
Some of this error may be due to the GPS coordinates I used for the objects.
We should completely verify these.

35: sonics, Site willow, Thu 22-Jul-2004 07:18:32 MDT, csat.17m.w down
I just visited willow to try to fix this.  There is water in the cable and blue
corrosion at the breakout box (like we've seen before).  We need to replace this
cable and tape the barrel up the tower.  (But I don't have a cable or tower
climbing gear here now.)
24: sonics, Site willow, Tue 06-Jul-2004 14:49:39 MDT, Sonic work at willow
Thw 17m sonic at willow is down. Last Friday Steve O. and John found water in
the cable at the breakout box. They were not able to get the sonic going again. Today's tests show that the sonic is ok and the problem is on the Emerald board,
channel 208, (second board port 1). The best I was able to determine is the
cabling from the sonic to the data system was ok. The internal cable from the
interface board was ok. So the problem is either a bad 4 port serial cable
to the Emerald or the Emerald board.
15: sonics, Site willow, Sun 20-Jun-2004 16:43:42 MDT, Changed willow 2m csat3 rate to 30hz

The 2m csat sonic was running at 20hz.  Sent it the "Ad" command
to switch to 30hz.
