Apparently the morning unstow routine overrides the manual unstow condition so the turret woke up inside the protective bag and blew a fuse trying to punch its way out of the bag. Used GONG expert function to disable pitch and roll while I replaced the fuse. Restarted turret and it began working normally again--with the bag removed. Performed weekly PM to relieve GONGster PM crew from having to come up here today. **ECHO PROBLEM**: Mon Mar 15 18:30:07 GMT 2004 Noticed there were no images on the echo display. Quit and restarting echosys. Images reappeared. WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Mar 15 18:33:21 GMT 2004 In cirrus patch. Orographic clouds forming all around station. WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Mar 15 18:39:29 GMT 2004 In orographic clouds. WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Mar 15 18:56:07 GMT 2004 Orographic clouds have receded or burned off for now.
