Today we started out where we left off yesterday adding CSATs, EC150s, and Quad-disks to every DSM tower. There was actual cloud cover today and a strong breeze to keep us cool. Justin and Isabel did a fantastic job building up the booms. Tony added all the equipment to their prospective locations on Asset Panda. We then built up some TRHs and started hanging them on the towers. We got half way through the array before stopping for the day. We'll finish hanging them first thing tomorrow.  

One thing we found out was that we didn't have enough Quad-disks for the Trailer Tower, EC100s for the CSAT 3As, nor plates to hang the CSAT3 electronic boxes. Steve graciously got everything packed up for UCAR logistics to pickup and ship tomorrow. Thank you Steve.

All ubiquiti links are on the net except to the trailer tower (not set up) and t0 and t35 (need troubleshooting). We decided to mount the omni on the base trailer rather than the trailer tower, so we could get links up before we get around to raising the trailer tower. So far links seem to be working, despite the omni being considerably lower. Other than the ones at tt, t0, and t35, all DSMs are on the net. t35, t0b, and t0t are likely powered and working, just not networked. Ustar is online in the base trailer and is running dsm_server and statsproc. As of this morning raw and netcdf data is being transferred back to EOL. Data is starting to show up on qctables!!

Learning lesson: If we have a field project using all of our sensors, pack everything we have in stock related to those sensors. You never know what you might need...
