----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 21 18:43:42 GMT 2012 Year: 12 Doy: 052 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Feb 21 18:43:47 GMT 2012 Cloudy snowing lightly, wind=25mph from the SSE, temp=36F. ___end___ **MKIV PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Tue Feb 21 18:44:52 GMT 2012 Upon power up of KCC I could hear the power supplie(s) chattering quickly on and off. It turned out to be a thermal problem, the OCP area was about 43F, and Allen noted a similar low temperature yesterday inside. I put the space heater blowing into the back of the KCC cabinet while I worked on other things, when I started the KCC about 30 minutes later it started up normally, then I started the log. Not a big problem, KCC just needs to be a certain temperature to startup normally. ___end___ NOTE BY DARRYL: Tue Feb 21 18:50:02 GMT 2012 No obs until snow and clouds clear. The road is easily passable now, though there are lots of snowy areas offroad. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY DARRYL: Tue Feb 21 19:44:39 GMT 2012 Repaced bad DLT drive with new one I received, stowed and covered instrument. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Feb 21 19:45:18 GMT 2012 The weather is getting really bad, heavy snow, can't see the road anymore.
