Also fog at BR and snow in the dish. %High wind gusts at MK. 2157 Begin at all sites except SC, which starts momentarily. 2157-0658 *HN has several warm receivers due to the loss of 13181 50 270 a cryo compressor earlier today. The 6cm, 2cm and 1cm receiver are all warm, but they are cooling now. 2157-0658 *HN 7mm receiver is also warm, though this problem CRYO 17 91 is unrelated to the cryo compressor problem that affected the other receivers. 2158 Begin at SC. 2206-2209 *SC rotation position error, overspeed fault on FRM 100 3 one of the motors. Cleared error and restarted scan to load proper position command. 2238 New operator is Paul Dyer. 0000 Date is 2004JAN10/010. 0003-0008 *KP Autostowed. Power glitch. Repointed.
