    On 9/28/10, both transceivers were updated to ver. 2.1.  Pressure
    transducers were installed at each array on 9/29/10.  In the near
    future, air temperature probes will be installed at each site.  No other
    changes were made.  The system continues to operate normally.

    The transceiver at ESS B0 stopped sending tag information to the data
    logger from 9/15/10 at 12:36:58 to 9/24/10 at 11:57:08.  During this
    time, status information (DRS file) was being sent to the data logger
    which showed normal current and noise levels on all antennas.  A remote
    reset of the  transceiver was executed which fixed the glitch.  A buffer
    download was also executed which also showed not tag information during
    the specified time period.

    ESS A0 and B0 continues to operate normally.  No changes have been made
    since the last log entry.  ESS B0 operations were disrupted on 7-23-10
    at 16:30 through 19:30 for maintenance on the power supply.

    Invalid detections in the 'ESS10047.ALL' data file were programmatically
    recast as comments, as requested by Dave Marvin (Dave.Marvin@ptagis.org).

    Site maintenance was preformed on ESS B0 on February 16  and on A0 on
    February 18, 2010.  New CR1000 data logger software was installed, and
    both sites were re-tunned.  Both sites were inoperable for a period of
    two hours during maintenance.

    A faulty mux at ESS B0 was replaced on 12/14/09.  The faulty mux
    resulted in intermittent operations during early December and complete
    failure from 12/06 through 12/12/09.  ESS A0 was operating normally
    during this time period.  During site maintenance, both A0 and B0 were
    re-tuned.  At A0, the VTT level was inadvertently left at a setting of
    80, resulting in few test tags currently being recorded.  The vtt level
    will be adjusted during the next site visit.  However, the vtt level has
    no effect on the ability of the site to detect actual PIT tags.  The new
    mux at B0 displayed the same issues observed with the old mux in that
    zero current was being sent to the antennas from 12/26 through 12/27/09
    (40 hours) but has since returned to normal operations.  Interrogation
    file ESS10004.all was submitted to PTAGIS with errors on 01/08/10.  The
    file was recast and a new corrected file submitted.
