Another hot sunny day, although today had a more consistent southerly breeze, gusty at times.
Today we moved the ISS1 trailer into its final position next to the pump compound, putting it a little further south than we initially intended, mostly to give the trucks delivering the ISFS base trailer and the REAL trailers more room to maneuver, but it also gives us a shorter power cable run. We laid out the main power cable, although the electrician hasn't set up the power panel yet so we have nothing to connect to yet.
On the Modular Profiler, we finished assembling the RASS dishes and mounted the speakers, continued unpacking the ISS1 trailer, then began assembling the 449 MHz antenna frame, unloaded and mounted the antennas (with help from the ISFS group, thanks!). David mounted the front-end electronics troughs and cabled those to the antenna, while Josh positioned the rack and setup monitors etc.
Isabel worked with the ISFS crew today (Chris, Tony and Will) getting their towers laid out. Steve headed back to Boulder, thanks Steve for getting things laid out and started, and especially for getting the county approval process completed - just in time!
