The cycle was modified to 640sec (12.8sec x 50 points). Weather in Longyearbyen: Mostly cloudy Geomagnetic activity: Quiet (and extremely low SW density (< 0.1 /cc)). ----------------------------------------------------- 2011-12-03 0500 - 0630 UT (narrow_fov) 04:45 UT killed EROS (type "eros kkill", and "eros" on e10023) 04:47 UT pointdir 4 100 04:50 UT run /kst/exp/ipy/ipy fm narrow NI 05:01 UT enablerec 06:29 UT stopexp 2011-12-03 0630 - 0830 UT (FLOWDYN) 06:30 UT run /kst/exp/taro/taro lm YR_sweepAZ_taro 06:30 UT enablerec started FAN plot routine.

Tx2 had a problem around 0855 UT, so we turned off and restarted the Transmitter around 0859 UT. Weather in Longyearbyen: Mostly cloudy, partly clear sky Geomagnetic activity: Moderate. Auroras were seen above Longyearbyen. ----------------------------------------------------- 2011-12-05 0500 - 0700 UT (narrow_fov) 04:47 UT pointdir 4 100 04:50 UT run /kst/exp/ipy/ipy fm narrow NI 05:00 UT enablerec 06:59 UT stopexp 2011-12-05 0700 - 0900 UT (sp_ni_uec) 06:59 UT pointdir 40 31 07:00 UT run /kst/exp/taro/taro fm sweepAZEL NI 07:01 UT enablerec 07:16 - 07:24 UT airport interlock 08:38 - 08:47 UT airport interlock 11:00 UT stopexp Note: ESR system was stable today.
