| 12/19/2002 | | Stan arranged for a new storage battery. No wind or sun to recharge it again (feast or famine in Seward!)
Happy Holidays to you all, Dave | Station Info | Data Graph |
| 12/4/2002 | | The Stay Spreader has been repaired. 300 Vdc battery is OK
A new storage battery is "in the works".
Still almost no wind and no sun .....
Cheers, Dave Leech | Station Info | Data Graph |
| 11/25/2002 | | Problem started with 1) NO SUN and 2) NO WIND !
Battery recharged
Restarted and on Friday night, 22-23 Nov. we had such a storm that the
wind turbine was making so much noise ('fluttering' the manufacturor calls it)that the local police were notified. At the same time the gieger counter stopped working so I am hoping that my resarting it today will be sufficient.
Note: I have not checked the 300vdc battery and another mast stay has broken which I have not yet fixed....

| 12/21/2001 | | No wind or sun to charge that old battery. I see that it was down to eleven point one at the time the Gamma count dropped to two. On opening the gamma window was "locked up". Reset and am crossing my fingers that that does it as the weather has turned just horrible, even by Seward standards. Oh, and the little padlock is not in great shape and will not disgorge the key.....

| 8/11/2001 | | Wind Vane s/n X1325 removed and replaced with s/n W1870. A nice sunny day in Seward. Note that Alder 'weeds' have grown high enough to block the photo voltaic cells. I will bring in a set of loppers and clear them out. All else looks fine. | Station Info | Data Graph |
| 7/6/2001 | Larry Sanders | David Leech and others from DEC and UAF replaced sensors with freshly calibrated sensors on July 5. PIC battery voltage = 340v. Wind speed measurements are within 3kts of measurements made from the Alpha Helix while docked.
Placed insulation between tower frame and Gamma counter later this afternoon, to eliminate a -3 millivolt offset.Gamma counter switch was set to 'Zero' during this time but I don't know why the other sensors show spikes. Dave | Station Info | Data Graph |
