This is a hardware problem that Warren can repair here in Boulder, so we will obviously need Dr. Drobeck to saddle up a snowmobile to the top of Lake Mtn. with a replacement receiver. |

Last week around 4:00 pm, the SV count goes down to @ 6 SV's at all sites but SACY, which goes down to 4 SV's. I've noticed lately around that time that real-time positions have not been computed due to this.. Not much you can do to this site other then block off the immediate parking spots around the antenna. Very poor location. |

Weird data has come in from CAT1 over the last few months. Rcvr displays "Antenna Overload" warning. Changed receiver, and still got warning occasionally. Antenna cable needs to be replaced and run through conduit. Bison come through the area occasionally, so it would be a good idea to protect the cable. In addition, the antenna could use a radome to protect it. |

I was viewing various screens in RTKnet, I noticed that the data stopped streaming from SCMS and CAT2. I never selected "reset receivers" or anything like that. This morning we visited SCMS and the baud rate was indeed set to 300. That site is fixed. But not CAT2 which is located in a remote area on Catalina Island. I decided to shutdown GPSnet because I cannot risk this problem happening again. We have seen in the past that when GPSnet is initialized, every so often the baud rate at an OCRTN site will get reset from 56,700 to 300 bps. This stops the flow of data and the only way to reset the baud rate is to visit the site and manually set it. This has been reported to Trimble numerous times but they've never admitted that it's their software doing this. |

The maintenance guy, Sean, I went around with checking out the various power panels, couldn't find the right circuit. They said they would call an electrician the next day to fix it. It seems that A/C power has not been restored (and hence the batteries are dead) to the proper circuit. To get an update on what's going on, call the Facilities Manager at 951-659-6062.

I am at Hinds at this time, I found that the phone line was good, it was your equipment that was keeping the circuit off hook (busy).

If there is a fan or AC unit in the enclosure it may be about to burn the bearings.

It is likely that the station has been severely damaged or destroyed by a wildfire. 07/07/2003: The ISLK site survived the Lake Isabella fire. The seismic network has a station in the same place, and one of their technicians inspected the area and reports that our monument (including dome) appears undamaged. The receiver and auxiliary equipment were inside a concrete bunker that survived the fire; a wooden structure on top of the bunker was completely destroyed. Power and phone lines were also completely destroyed, so ISLK will be offline for awhile. |

The data seems to be returning to normal. The data problem seems to have been a Freewave data radio that was transmitting all the time connected to a omni-directional antenna at GPS antenna level. We removed the omni-directional antenna and replaced it with a yagi antenna pointed at MSOB. We also set the Freewave radio to transmit only when asked.

No data from site for two days. vncviewer connects and opens but does not respond thereafter. FTP connectivity is fine...but shows no data since day 069. 04/03/2003 update: javier got data collection to resume. able to ftp small files, but 0 bytes transferred on larger ones. we suspect firewall software has been installed. 4/10/2003 update: unable to ftp to pc. 06/09/2003 - Javier, local visit to SPMX, replaced fan and power supply. Troubleshooting via telephone conv. with Michael Scharber with local network (UNAM) technician. Still no firewall access back through port 20 (data) via ftp. Will provide Javier with new script to PUSH data to sopac instead. 06/10/2003: javier installed new script. unable to push large files to sopac. 06/25/2003 - Javier, UNAM network technician (Urania), David Malveaux and Michael Scharber phone communications to determine cause of ftp transfer barrier. |

unable to connect to site. art andrew: I just got a phone call from a city of Irvine employee concerning the phone line at TRAK. They are adding 2 additional lines and want to relocate the existing 2 lines to the trailer which is about 100' north of where the lines are. This looks like a good time to upgrade TRAK to the wireless radios. This site should be our first priority when the equipment comes in. |

We experienced a power failure which exhausted the both the main UPS system for the computer room and the 3-12v battery bank attached to the receiver as secondary power. Our systems engineer was able to bring the UPS power back up about 7 am yesterday morning. We lost about 13 hours of data in two gaps starting with epoch (05-5-14 22:3:30) to (05-5-15 2:17:49) then from epoch (05-5-15 2:23:14) to epoch (05-5-15 11:14:13). |
20050515 |
I'm planning on switching to a local UPS for the receiver since I think it will have a higher availably and continuing to use batteries as a secondary power system.

local radio coverage surveyor reports: almost everything that is metal is heavily rusted and is almost falling down. The fences are down in several areas. The site is full of weeds. The electrical power supply system is severely corroded, and several junction boxes require replacement. I noticed that the rotor disk in the kWh meter was not moving, but the transformer feeding main service was humming. The signs identifying the site have either faded to illegibility or have fallen down. The electrical supply system will soon succumb to the corrosive salt air |
