Weather: Cool, low stratus throughout the day with scattered showers around noon

Tasking:

• Hendrik continued his remote support for the local Argentina crew
• Replaced 65W panels for 145W panels at lconv & uconv. We will hold off on doing the same at rel but will keep a close eye on it
• Data seems nominal
• Andy arrived this afternoon
• Hendrik's last day was today. Big thanks for all his hard work out here!
• April, Hendrik and I had dinner and checked in
  
  • IOPs are going well. The smoke has been pooling as desired for recent IOPs
  • They currently have had four successful ones with the goal of 10 by project end
  • UW may return before project end to do another IOP flight with their UAV
  • Critters chewing through the ctemps fiber continues to be an issue. They just received a new shipment of splices and will start fixing breaks downstream of the rel tower

Tomorrow I will be giving Andy a tour of the sites and overview of duties.
