Homestake array status (Gary, Tanner, Daniel, Pat)
Update from Tanner (email): Still having very frequent problems with the Antelope setup at UMN. UMN IT people don't know of any issues with the virtual machine where Antelope is running or with the disk where the data is being saved. Emailed BRTT twice about this issue (CCing Gary) and have yet to get a response. Most of the time the data is still flowing through UMN to Caltech (although there have been a few times when the entire Antelope process has shut down at UMN, which halts the flow). Daniel is working on setting up the data quality monitor webpage at Caltech since the data is being recorded more consistently there. Otherwise, we found that there was a setting in the field computer at Homestake that was deleting data older than 120 days. We have turned it off and I believe Gary has a copy of the data that has been deleted (and of course it exists on the Balers, too), so we shouldn't be missing any data.
Daniel installed the data quality monitor at Caltech, working well. Vuk linked it from the DQ page.
Gary: have a complete copy, rsync-ed from Homestake. Could copy it to other locations.
Vuk: would be good for UMN. Will talk to Tanner.
Daniel: 4850A does not have GPS signal. Contacted Jaret and Jamey, looks like they changed the switch on this level recently.
Gary: copying the data to IRIS, in process.
Gary: WTP has low SNR for the radio, so it occasionally drops out. Didn't notice any data gaps. Next trip, may want to put better radio antenna. Have an extra directional antenna, plus there should be another one if we replace the highschool radio antenna.
Gary: At the highschool, trying to get connection to the computer there. Found that their VPN didn't work as they expected, so they opened their firewall for ssh-ing to this machine. Will have to check. We also have radio problem with that location, IRIS will send us 900 MHz radio which should solve this problem. At the moment it is like stand-alone.
