Plante trained Hawaii staff on new forklift. Preliminary testing of the 345 GHz receiver in Antenna 2 was begun. Azimuth encoder mounted. Elevation ball screw partially installed. About one month's work remains on the mezzanine boards and three crates.
Haystack expects to meet the deadline for delivery of all hardware by the end of the year.
Landstar has committed a brand new rig to the job, which will allow continuous GPS tracking. The disassembly and packing of Mount 4 is scheduled for APR 10 and departure from Westford for APR 17. Those who have been tracking the schedule will have noticed that we are still aiming for the barge that we selected last year. The small forklift left on a barge out of Hilo on MAR 9. It should show up in Westford at the end of the March.
