Hardware Status as of 1. July 2011
Electronics:
Nearly everything working.
All RCU modules plugged in.
High Band Antennas:
All tiles are working
Low Band Antennas:
No oscillating dipoles.
Some (even-numbered) dipoles show little to no power in the spectrum (like as if the LNA is not working). The problem is not always consistent: some seem to recover without active intervention, some seem to recover after pulling and re-connecting the RCU.
Dipoles with low power on Fri 1. 7. 2011: 8, 12, 44, 68, 72, 78, 86, 130, 148, 150, 164, 178
Dipoles with low power on Wed 29. 6. 2011: 8, 44, 72, 78, 86, 92, 138, 148, 150, 164
