216.67.3.245:

===Fairbanks Prep===

*16 HMP45C heads needed for full replacement. Not saying we need to do all of them but for the total out there number it is 16.
*Solder Quick Connects on Net Radiometers to be taken out to the SP.
*Make sure we have enough SR50/SR50A/Judd sonic replacement sensors
Broken Sensors:
Kigluaiks AT/RH
K3 1 & 3m AT/RH
K1 1 & 3m AT/RH
C2 10m AT/RH

To Do:
* Program for new repeater
* get right hardware for reinstalling Radiometers
* bring solder?
* bring quick connects (6) for net radiometers
* Track down Taylor programming
* make sure Taylor stuff will fit.
* Change other programs to save less 5 minute stuff (make it a season based output).
* Pack wading rod and Flo-Mate
* Get programs onto new toughbook (and modify them).
* Power Wire from Napa probably for Repeater site
* 2 multiplexers
* 2 CR10Xs
* precision resistors
* Longer Coax for at C2 Blueberry
* Remaining Taylor stuff
*

===Radio Repeater Station Needs:===
Troubleshoot 2009 Radio Problems. Specifically: Anvil to Kigluaiks Hop and Skookum to C2 Blueberry Hop.
Repeater Site Logistics:
* Tripod & Hardware (from pictures the bolts aren't in the tripod but they might be in the tripod legs)
* Instrument Box (use the Kuzitrin one maybe?)
* Battery Box (There's an extra from C3 in the Nome Storage)
* Hole in battery box (To drain water)
* batteries (Should be in Nome Storage)
* battery cables (Need to make after buying wire in Fairbanks (NAPA)
* power & data for radios (bring)
* power cables and charge controller (Maybe out there, I'm not sure. Solar panel had been at the Kuzitrin so presumably there's something attached)
* power cable for solar panel (bring a C.C. for the large panel)
* cable ties (grab some)
* antenna (should be out there)
* coax (should be out there? Bring one out anyway)
* radio (should be out there? Bring one out anyway)
* cr10x (Bring 2)
* taylor anemometer (Bring the cross arms out)
* set radio into correct modes (point to point slave / repeater)
* Something for mounting the solar panel to the tower (Hmmm.. hose clamps maybe?)
* copies of permits for posting

8/2009 comments:
Soil stuff looks funktastic
Judd AT and distance look funky, too.
====K3 Mauze====

Same for 1m & 3m RH
Something happened to 3m WS & WD, too
Replace SR50 business end

SP Trip:
Tuesday--
* Arrive
* Gage snake? / visit snake?
** Replace battery here
** look at wiring to see how many sensors will fit on wiring panel
* Touch base with Helo... meet it out at Golden gate pull out again
(the real one)?
* Prep for new repeater
** Make sure station has all pieces
*** Nuts & Bolts
*** cable for batteries
*** rebar or something like it?
** logger with program
**

* Food for Kougarok

Wednesday
* Drive out to Golden Gate
* Install new repeater
* Also Visit Kig #1 and better secure antenna
* Continue out to Kougarok...
* stop by the Kuzitrin and score a few grayling for dinner?

Thursday
* K1 Burn
** Install Net Radiometer
*** Bring quick connects & solder those, too
** Trouble-shoot soil multiplexer goings on
*** Bring out spare Mux
*** Bring out spare CR10X
*** Bring out precision resistors
** replace SR50A business end
** Replace 1m & 3m AT/RH (they're reading bad)
** Look at precip bucket to see if we can get it to tip.
** 1hour snow is funky (5min is fine)
** Add code to logger so that 5 min measurements aren't made 5/1 to
9/15 or something like that.

Friday
* K2 Met
** Replace Judd business end and make sure the new sensor works.
Current readings are suggestive of a broken sensor.
** install all the radiometers. Bring out machines screws (from
fairbanks) to secure radiometers to the tower.
