Fairly breezy day, which is bad for the drainage study.  Kate and I each got to go vertical today, for a break in the heat.  The South Carolina team is still struggling to find solutions for protecting the CTEMPS fiber and for purchasing a new laser.

To respond to yesterday's task list:

• trh.15m.lconv and trh.20m.lconv were missing the SHTs themselves, as we suspected.  Installed SHT sensors and now working.
• while working on lconv, attached extension USB cables to the dusttracks.
• trh.10m.init: bad values for T and RH.  (SHT was loose within Gortex shield.).  Replaced entire SHT (easier to do when climbing), which fixed.
• csat.10m.uconv: Just did ddn/dup which "autoconfigured" it to the correct data rate
• csat/irga.1.5m.lconv, IRGA not turning green.  This EC100 was probably always just for the CSAT3A and might never have been used with an IRGA.  (It didn't have a PTB100 barometer, though it has a note inside saying that it had been there. Thus, I suspect that its IRGA control settings were off.  I replaced this with another EC100, not changing either the CSAT3A or EC150 heads, and get 3 green LEDs now.

The Pantech modem, providing internet access to ustar, disconnected from the network this afternoon.  Bypassed it by connecting ustar's Cradlepoint to the ISS Cradlepoint, sharing cell bandwidth now with ISS.  We will think about whether there is a better solution, and try to figure out why the Pantech died in the first place.

P.S. By corrupting git, data from the surface rad/soil sensors are coming in, though all 3 Tsoil probes are reporting totally bad data.  Not sure of the cause yet.  Next will be to acquire the power monitor data.
