Get up early, eat breakfast, clear up further confusion regarding the heavy equipment usage, the head to work. I got the magnetometer placed today, got the batteries, solar panels, and wind generators hooked up. started working on the high frequency antenna and discovered it is a hodge podge of parts.

Tonight we turned on the system so hopefully my boss can see it back in NH.

Tomorrow: All-sky camera and HF antenna. The riometer gets flown in, but maybe too late to work on it. Hopefully I'll be done the next day.

The foot of Mt. Eremus makes it look like the world sort of bends up and turns into sky. If you could see the 360 degrees of whiteness that surrounds it, you would start to believe that the earth actually did tip, then lose your balance.
