None of my entries this morning got on the log, I'm writing this from Kii via rlogin to Nene. I don't have time to figur out what I enetered and reenter everything. I sent all the back logs to Boulder. NOAA isn't sure when the network will be back and Darryl Kuniyuki is out sick until next week, so the earliest we will have the network back is next week. NOAA is waiting for parts from UH, UH had to order the parts. COMMENT: Wed Sep 3 19:38:45 GMT 1997 The problem with the xterm window on Nene started this morning when I was disconnected abruptly from Boulder while I was logged in via the modem. MKIII COMMENT: Wed Sep 3 19:48:47 GMT 1997 I'm not keeping track of VDIFFs today since I'm using the Panasonic monitor to help me troubleshoot the Lowl. So I don't know if any CME has happened so far today and won't know for the rest of the observing day probably. COMMENT: Wed Sep 3 19:51:46 GMT 1997 I'm heading down to the GONG shelter to briefly check on the weather station.

The added signal modifying board in the camera controller is now suspected, so I removed the camera controller and put it on the workbench. David will get back to me on the availability of an extra board to try. So the instrument remains down for repairs. COMMENT: Thu Sep 4 00:40:32 GMT 1997 Activity report: QP: 123; 139; 235; 268; 310. No coronal activity noticed, but no VDIFFs done either. TAPES: ****** MKIII: H01626 DPMON: P00977 CHIP: C00398 LOWL: Down for repairs.
