Yesterday we put up the receive antenna, finished tweaking on the genset, finalized the Hughes Net and turned the CODAR on. We saw some EMF interference with the engine controller so we moved the transmit antenna further away from the huts and that solved the problem. After running the CODAR for a few minutes we saw that no cross-specra were being processed so we began to debug. After many hours of trying and no success we sent an email to customer support and now await the report. Today we’ll continue tweaking on the genset and CODAR until we are happy with their performance. If the CODAR starts behaving normally we’ll conduct antenna calibrations and head on back to Knowles Bay for a check up, since it’s been almost 4 days since we left that site and it is probably getting lonely without us. ;-)

The folks in Cordova are also getting lonely without you so finish up those projects and come on in for a beer or three!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear the progress with CODAR installation and testing. My team is waiting to hear more update from you in the coming days, and we cannot wait to see the first radar data stream...
