[GMT 08/22/05 16:59:03] 1300L call-in meeting stil a go? [GMT 08/22/05 16:59:13] pavel, two things, one we shot ourself trying to help us see when link would go down, by sending echo signal every couple of seconds to ground and waiting only couple of seconds for it to return, when it couldn't make the round trip in that time limit, software would shut the ion link down...then today's test flight has us flying 20nm from noaa43, and rf interference is greatly lessened at this distance...that's what i've observed today [GMT 08/22/05 16:59:45] 1300 call in meeting is postponed till a/c have landed [GMT 08/22/05 17:00:08] Chris, on the next test, can you include the time (real time) you hit return so we can tell how long does it take to get up here. [GMT 08/22/05 17:00:47] NRL currently N-bound; N43 now turning N-bound [GMT 08/22/05 17:00:57] Will do, Wen. It will take a minute or two. [GMT 08/22/05 17:03:11] Bill - N43 has their APN159 is turned off. This is probably helping. I am glad you guys were able to find the reason in flight - thank you and Charlie! [GMT 08/22/05 17:03:28] ads-nrlp3: NOAA 43 has had their radar altimeter turned off since shortly after takeoff. [GMT 08/22/05 17:03:47] brad I want to talk to try to talk to u [GMT 08/22/05 17:04:19] Melicie--in chat or on radio? [GMT 08/22/05 17:04:32] radio [GMT 08/22/05 17:04:39] Go ahead--I'm on. [GMT 08/22/05 17:05:21] pavel/janet, yes, i'm sure that's helping, chris burghart is sending us tracks and images, seems like they get to us in a minute or so [GMT 08/22/05 17:05:36] Wen, image inserted in queue at 17:05:30 [GMT 08/22/05 17:05:56] Image size is 10275 bytes [GMT 08/22/05 17:06:26] Sorry, image was not inserted that time. [GMT 08/22/05 17:07:11] Image inserted in queue at 17:07:00. [GMT 08/22/05 17:07:15] Bob - Lynch is still troubleshooting, says it could be 30-sec or 30-min. He also said this troubleshooting could be done on the ground. [GMT 08/22/05 17:09:05] N43 is going to extend this W-bound track to punch a cell for Paul Willis' benefit [GMT 08/22/05 17:09:31] image is here [GMT 08/22/05 17:09:50] brad: ok, that sounds like a good use of time to get Paul's data while Terry is working. [GMT 08/22/05 17:10:37] Agreed. [GMT 08/22/05 17:10:41] I would like to give Terry a little more time to get this solved in the air. We need to do this test in flight. [GMT 08/22/05 17:11:25] Chris: we received the image around 17:09. [GMT 08/22/05 17:11:35] Roughly 4000 KB/minute for image transfer. Since images will be closer to 20-30 KB when we have LF radar data on them, it should take ~5-7 minutes per image. [GMT 08/22/05 17:12:55] Chris, can you send us one from last test flight that has ground in it. That may be close enough. [GMT 08/22/05 17:13:29] BTW, Charlie, good job on the Iridium fix! [GMT 08/22/05 17:13:36] Will send another image in a minute. [GMT 08/22/05 17:14:12] jose_tampa (meitin@rdcc.guest.ucar.edu) joined &RAINEX. [GMT 08/22/05 17:14:16] Thanks. It seems to be very solid now, part of which I attribute to the separation of the aircraft. [GMT 08/22/05 17:15:12] If you look at the directory listing for the composite images on the plane, you can see a more exact time of when the image was received.

[GMT 08/22/05 17:16:00] Bob - Preparing to punch cell on W-bound track; will then 90/270 for 2nd pass through it on E-bound return. Suggestions for our plan after that? [GMT 08/22/05 17:16:10] Jennet, we just sync the time among laptops. [GMT 08/22/05 17:17:07] Brad and Bob, any plans for NRL P3? [GMT 08/22/05 17:17:41] jose_tampa (meitin@rdcc.guest.ucar.edu) left irc: Ping timeout [GMT 08/22/05 17:17:52] Stand by Wen-Chau - Bob is considering this now. Default is for you to continue box. [GMT 08/22/05 17:18:55] My suggestion would be to return to Tampa, unless Terry Lynch has changed his mind about being able to continue troubleshooting on the ground.

[GMT 08/22/05 17:21:11] Decision here is to punch through cell W-bound, then do S-bound, E-bound & N-bound legs of box, then return to Tampa. [GMT 08/22/05 17:21:22] Image inserted in queue at 17:21:00 [GMT 08/22/05 17:21:40] brad: how long will that take? [GMT 08/22/05 17:22:38] Image size this time is 38089 bytes [GMT 08/22/05 17:22:41] Approximately 12-13 min to complete box. Then ~25-30 min to land in Tampa [GMT 08/22/05 17:23:29] Brad & Wen: Plan to land in about half an hour. [GMT 08/22/05 17:24:07] Brad: Will Terry be continuing to work on the radar transmission on the way back in? If so, we might get lucky and get at list one shot at a test.
