• Did some rewiring, the blue wire to SE1 was missing so it was replaced
• Left a new logger (DFM5) in place, same name DBM2 pakbus 202.

• 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)
