Shutter was replaced yesterday and replacement shutter worked all day. Shutting PSPT down and checking shutter. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Oct 25 17:55:49 GMT 2002 Removed shutter and tested it outside of PSPT. Initially the shutter was not staying open. Tested the last spare and it did stay open when NC/NO switch was toggled to NO. Tested current shutter again and it functioned OK this time. Reinstalled surrent shutter and starting PSPT up again.

Earlier startup problem was shutter intermittent failure rather than thick clouds--they are thick, though. Starting daily observations.

Removing the spare we installed yesterday and installing second spare shutter. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Oct 25 18:20:49 GMT 2002 Replacement appears to be working OK. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Oct 25 19:28:46 GMT 2002 Noticed that Vincent Associates is closed on Fridays according to the invoice with the spares. Couldn't call them for RMA # today. Found their web site. Learned from their website that they moved on 10/7. Called FEDEX and they used the tracking number of yesterday's package to try to intercept the first shutter and route it to the new address. I also found Vincent Assoc.'s email address so I emailed them a request for an RMA # for the second shutter and also requested warranty repair on the unit since it failed after around 5 hours of operation after the last warranty repair--even though it was stored as a spare since 12/2000. Awaiting a response and an RMA # before shipping second unit back. Unit removed: s/n 1376 Unit installed: s/n 984 Unit in transit: s/n 1374 (yesterday's failure) MKIV COMMENT: Fri Oct 25 21:52:07 GMT 2002 Stopping MK4. No coronal data today, in cirrostratus all morning. Fri Oct 25 21:54:52 GMT 2002 MKIV End Patrol Fri Oct 25 21:59:47 GMT 2002 PICS End Patrol PSPT COMMENT: Fri Oct 25 22:01:14 GMT 2002 Stopped pspt.
