He is working on the construction project for NOAA. They may have damaged some cables that go to GONG shelter. I'll check that out when I go down there to work on the waveplate PLL board.

I swapped the old waveplate PLL board with a new one, so far all is well. I checked the construction damage, this will involve NOAA and the construction crew mostly since we don't maintain the cables outside of the shelter. Down near the new foundation they broke the phone cable and a FO cable (so the network is down for now), they also partially pulled up the power cables that Charlie thinks goes to GONG, but power to GONG hasn't been interrupted. NOAA knows about this according to Charlie, so they'll fix the problems possibly tomorrow. I asked them to let us know when they work on the power cables since the shelter will probably have to do without power for a while when that happens, Charlie agreed and said they might fix it tomorrow. For now there is no phone or network service to the GONG shelter.

So far the power is still on. Bob is coming up from Hilo to shut it down and possibly reroute the cables. Charlie didn't label anything so there is a lot of confusion as to what cable goes where and what breaker serves the cables that were damaged. Probably the safest thing to do is to shut down the instrument and see if those cables serve the shelter and if so we'll have to leave the power off until NOAA can finish things, they don't know how long it will take at this time.

I'll ask them to let us know when we can bring the instrument back up again.
