----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Dec 13 18:08:00 GMT 2011 Year: 11 Doy: 347 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Dec 13 18:08:15 GMT 2011 Thick cloud cover, snow on the ground for the last few miles of road, wind=10 mph from the WSW, temp=35F. ___end___ NOTE BY DARRYL: Tue Dec 13 18:48:29 GMT 2011 Telephone and internet connection problems that I found on Sunday were caused by tripped circuit breakers in the HawTel radio shack up here, they had it fixed Sunday evening around 5:30, I called Nelson at 935-9771 to verify that all is well, the trouble ticket is closed. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Tue Dec 13 20:32:02 GMT 2011 Fixed the LN2 funnel. It should last and be easier to fix w/o needing a lot of metal tape for reinforcement if we're careful with it, handle it by the white PVC plumbing elbow, and the rubber covering the metal tube near the open end goes into the LN2 dewar opening not around the outside of the threads. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Dec 13 21:23:39 GMT 2011 Foggy. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY DARRYL: Tue Dec 13 21:27:17 GMT 2011 Earlier today I moved the Pulizzi power cord over from Segment #1 on the UPS where I put it on Friday to a 20 amp receptacle on Segment #2, and the CoMP PC and Lakeshore monitor are now on Segment #1. I thought it would be better to have the Pulizzi on a higher rated power circuit. I tested with a manual power outage and the UPS performed correctly. ___end___ NOTE BY DARRYL: Tue Dec 13 21:37:33 GMT 2011 Going down to Hilo to run some errands. ___end___ Tue Dec 13 21:38:03 GMT 2011 MkIV
