WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 16:57:54 GMT 2000
Spar is having trouble tracking due to the clouds, will wait for clouds to clear before starting mk4 and pspt.
**MLSO PROBLEM**: Wed Jul 12 17:19:08 GMT 2000
To clarify a comment in yesterday's log and my comment in last Thursday's log
regarding our recent network problems.  On Thursday NOAA replaced a bad
transceiver on the network server, that was a problem that affected all
Internet traffic off the mountain.  From yesterday's comments it sounds like
there was another network problem involving the hub that GONG and MLSO share
and that is located before the network server, moving us to a different hub
ought to speed us up even more, but this has happened in the past several times
and they keep saying they'll get a new hub for us but I guess they somehow
keep convincing themselves that the old hub is good and then they put us back
on it and it indeed seems to work well for a while.  We'll see what really
happens.

PSPT COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 18:57:11 GMT 2000
Started even though it is cloudy, most of the crashes for me have occured
when the sky was partly cloudy so I will see if it crashes.  Whenever it
does from now on I will try to figure out what is wrong with the software
myself before asking for help, I think this is simpler and more efficient
since I can do the testing more easily than a remote troubleshooter.

Extended the dome slot.
GONG COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 20:18:26 GMT 2000
Going down to the shelter to see if there is a spare network hub that we can
let NOAA use to fix the latest network problem.
GONG COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 20:48:46 GMT 2000
Back from shelter, couldn't find a spare hub that GONG thought they had, but
they did have a spare network repeater, which won't help this problem.  I'll
pass information to NOAA.
WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 20:50:20 GMT 2000
Thick orographic clouds have moved in, Spar isn't tracking, pausing instruments.

PSPT COMMENT: Wed Jul 12 21:31:29 GMT 2000
This worked very well today, even through thin cirrostratus and orographic clouvariations, ran from ~1900ut until about 2130ut without any problem.
