Issues and outages

Time (UT) Antennas Details
5 Ant 5 has low VPOL power probably due to DCM issue
10 Ant 10 has no VPOL power probably due to a failed optical link.; Ant 10 Uncontrolled temperature is not being detected due to a / faluty board in the FEM.
13 Ant 13 is not operating due to vandalism
Ant 2 reporting low FET - possible FEM communication issue / Schedule locked up and schedule did not start even though it was set up / - had to manually start tracking, but schedule still locked--restarted / Manually got Ant 3 tracking during early phasecal.
6 Ant6 FEM had no TPC/IP connection, but it recovered
7 Ant7 FEM has no TPC/IP connection--leaving it off.
00:00–23:59 13 On Saturday, Nov 11 at 23:50 UT, The Ant13 shed was broken into and the cable from the solar cell batteries to the inverter was cut. Ant13 will remain off line until a replacement cable can be purchased.

Antenna availability: automatic assessment.
