1/15/2004Allen TreadawayThe station was shutdown at about 17:45 Z on Thur 1/15/04 in order to rewire the 120 Vac/6 Vdc charging system. Prior negative spikes (over the past several months) on the PIC (gamma) were caused by a faulty charger transformer. It was replaced with a temporary setup but was not weather proof and due to recent precipitation it was decided to shut the station down until a proper setup was completed.Station InfoData Graph
