Tohban notes for Monday, Jan.1:

Ant 5 has low VPOL power probably due to DCM issue
Ant 10 has no VPOL power probably due to a failed optical link.
Ant 10 FE Temp reporting bad temperature due to failed sensor.

Report problems here:
Ant 3 has elevation axis lock. Cycling the power to the drive has
resolved the problem on second attempt.(cold start issue?)

Time (UT) Antennas Details
00:00–23:59 7 It has no VPOL power probably due to a failed optical link
00:00–23:59 10 It has no VPOL power probably due to a failed optical link
00:00–23:59 13 The solar cell batteries and cables were replaced. But, due to the 27m problems, the antenna is not full operational.
00:00–23:59 14 On Wednesday, Jan 10 at 00:00 UT, It was found that the 27m antenna had a hydraulic fluid leak and that the antenna would not move. Inspection is currently underway to determine location and cause of the leak. No calibrations until the fault is rectified.

At about 2030UT the antennas stopped tracking. Stowing the antenas
and then resuming them tracking fixed the problem.
Ant 12 isn't stowing - says no trips
