2/24/1999Ken GilesDATA FROM THIS STATION STARTING ON 22 FEBUARY,1999 AT 12:13:14 ZULU TIME THROUGH 24 FEBUARY,1999 AT 12:58:14 ZULU TIME IS INCORRECT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PIC SENSOR. APPARENT HIGH GAMMA READINGS COULD NOT BE VERIFIED BY EPA PERSONAL WITH PORTABLE SURVEY EQUIPMENT . THIS STATION WILL REMAIN SHUT DOWN UNTILL REPAIRS ARE MADE.Station InfoData Graph

8/20/1998Larry SandersThe station was loaded with NEWNET version R35 software on 8/20/98 at 22:42Z. This software provides improved accuracy for radiation measurements in the low range. The station was re-wired with a door sensor and new voltage divider for the radiation sensor. The 12 volt battery was not replaced. The PIC 300volt battery voltage was not replaced it was reading 297 volts. Currently, this station only has a radiation sensor. EPA will install meteorological sensors later. All meteorological inputs will remain shorted until the meteorological sensors are installed.Station InfoData Graph
