Sherman
2011-08-12

I arrived about 10:15PST with Jaclyn and Sara. The field looked very wet towards the middle and west end from the bridge. The water in the ditch along the road seemed higher than usual. The pepper weed is done flowering but the hell weeds seem to be about peak season.

I replaced the CNR1 and the resistor bridge. The CNR1 probably has a bad long wave sensor. The PRT resistor bridge might be bad, but it might have also been a programing error that was using the wrong excitation channel.

In running around the tower I pulled SHF plate #2 out of the ground. I stuffed it back in but maybe could use a more careful reinsertion.

Jaclyn and Sara helped collect the data.

There’s a wasp nest in the end of the radiation boom.

The met program still needs some work, but it looks like it is okay for now.

The solar panel for the fence power is very dirty.
