Hi All,
Nigel and I did a trip today to SnoDEM to re-align a couple of the
dishes. We've got nice strong signals now from East Tiger and Haystack
going to SnoDEM. After Saturday's Gold Mtn deploy we'll need to take 1
more trip to align a SnoDEM dish to aim back @ Gold Mtn. This should
make SnoDEM triple redundant, which is great for an EOC. Things got
super sketchy there for a while, as multiple events coincided to wreak
havoc on SnoDEM's connectivity:
1) Nigel moved and his uplink was disconnected as a result.
2) The CapitolPark-SnoDEM link faded into the useless signal range. We
disabled it since it could hardly pass any packets.
3) A modem died @ Haystack which killed the SnoDEM feed from there.
4) My uplink to SnoDEM got tree-faded into uselessness and was disabled.
And that's how a quad-redundant site suddenly became a disconnected site!
