<br />
* After repeater is installed:<br />

<br />
==August 26 Council Area==<br />
* head to Council area with canoe<br />
*C1 Grid<br />

** install thermistor string<br />
*** bring liquid-tite for animal protection<br />
*** bring Hilti and generator to dig the hole <br />
** snip vegetation below snow sensor<br />

** take up another battery<br />
** pull all radiometers (net, short and long)<br />
** snip vegetation below snow sensor<br />
** install new thermistor string, dig hole<br />
*** bring liquid-tite for animal protection.<br />
**Programming:<br />
*** change program so snow depth and distance are being saved (now it's distance x 2)<br />
*** Another program thing: precip here is flatlined at 12 for some weird reason (in output data).<br />
* Skookum Pass<br />
** Cover black tape with white tape on AT/RH sensor<br />

** Better secure the transducer at K1, too<br />
** Bring out Rebar and hose clamps to secure cross arm to the legs maybe<br />
** First 2 Soil moistures may still work here, got a couple legit looking readings earlier this summer. Rest are still garbage. so maybe check them out.<br />
