More specific notes to Bob:
+ Verify the WS multipliers for Anvil & Kig2 (review Taylor's manual again) + Check inventory to see if there is a pipe or something like that to install @ kig2 for antenna placement + Think about a top piece for Kig2 to better distribute wind loading + maybe bring sawzall for any kig2 additions. + get datapro working on the toughbook then + get the latest set of viztools (canvas style) also working so I can view first cut of data out in the field. + use glom to put all site ATs for example and the same for the other sensor groups.
