== 16 July 2007, Ken I. ==
* serviced evaporation pan, at 0925 AKST
* water level too low for gauge
* w/ hook gage set at 1.00, approx. 2.9 cm down to water level from the hook point
* added 2 jugs, or 14 gal (52 L)
* hook gage read at 2.7258

== 15 June 2007, Ken I., Doug K. ==
* fixed 10m RMYoung wiring, details follow:
** reconnected RMYoung wiring at sensor wiring box to nominal:
*** WS SIG -- RED -- 6
*** WS REF -- BLK -- 2
*** WD EX -- BLU -- 5
*** WD SIG -- GRN -- 4
*** WD REF -- WHT -- 3
*** DRAIN -- CLR -- 1
** used spare piece of 05103-CSI cable at logger-shack end:
*** per program listing with timestamp 07jun07 02:35:43
*** WS is on C7
*** WD on SE3 (which is multiplexer)
** wiring from logger to multiplexer:
*** SE3 -- CLR -- COM H1
*** SE4 -- BLK -- COM L1
*** AG -- BLK -- COM L2
*** E2 -- RED -- COM H2
** connected 10m WS to P1 & G via wiring board terminal blocks, at lower left, left to right, from multiplexer to sensor on tower:
*** empty
*** empty
*** mplx 7L2 -- BLK -- WHT to sensor
*** mplx 7H1 -- BLK -- GRN
*** mplx 7H2 -- RED -- BLU
*** CR10X P1 -- RED
*** CR10X G -- BLK
** spliced sensor-to-4C cable at either end:
*** WHT -- WHT cable 1
*** GRN -- GRN cable 1
*** BLU -- RED cable 1
*** RED -- RED cable 2
*** BLK -- BLK cable 2

{{todo}}

* bring log book for instrument enclosure

= site logs =

== 13 July 2007, Ken I. ==

* wx dry, about 60F, wind 10-15 knots from south
* Site is in good shape; electric fence working.
* swapped solar panel leads at charge controller; showing charge,
but solar panel shows 19V vs battery at 12.49V, so charge controller is not working
* old charge controller: SS-10-12V, S/N 06014116 <-- BAD
* replaced charge controller: SS-10-12V, S/N 07160062
* no logbook at site
* taped yellow "flags" on electric fence to keep from blowing over to posts
* after change, solar panel shows 12.4V, battery 12.55V
* shaded solar panel, observed drop in both voltages

== 10 June 2007, Ken I., Dan R. ==

* installed HMP45C-L45', s/n Z4750068
** (could be replaced with sensor with 5-foot cable...)

* installed GW-YSI 3-AT sensor, tag# ATB5_DAR2

* installed flex conduit on all wires

* ''bridged'' solar shields (2) w/ copper rod (available mat'ls :) to try to strengthen setup. Both had been bent down & back before we got to site.

* installed electric fence

* found wire on back of solar panel pulled off (probably by bear)
** wire & solder pad on panel still intact, probably repairable (solder)
** removed solar panel from site

* installed 50W solar panel (formerly at old White Hills repeater)
