VCLOCK, GPS Delta, and UT1-UTC check ok. 0308 Begin. *SC Weather station is not working. Temp. and dew point reading are not correct. 0308 %HN Maser Right and Left ion pump currents are way 13027 out of range. 0308-0909 *NL Antenna is not useable. Major problem with the 13025 100 361 EL axis. Site tech was not able to repair. 0308 *HN WEA: Snowing, snow in the antenna. 0325-0330 *HN El currents are excessive due to snow load. WEA 100 5 I am dumping the snow. Seems to have helped. Currents are near normal. 0507 All readbacks ok. 0513 All readbacks ok. 0543 *PT WEA: Wind gusts > 35 mph. 0708 %FD Bad readbacks on drive 1, tracks 4,8,12,14,16 20, and 22. All others ok. 0746-0749 *HN Doing another snow dump. WEA 100 3 0828 *LA WEA: Wind gusts > 35 mph. 0904 All readbacks ok. 0904 SC End of file. 0909 End.
