I went through all bands on antennas 13,14,16,17,18,21,24,26 today (23 was
being worked on and 19 didn't like some of the questions I asked it)
seeking improved attenuator settings. Only a few changes were made.
Cloudy weather at the site made me reluctant to increase attenuation for
the high freq bands, but I did make changes that resulted in lower total
attenuation (and probably this still results in slightly too much
attenuation for fair weather).
Band by band:
P: things were too confusing to do properly in the time I had.
L: ea17 wanted 4/3 dB more attenuation on B/D.
ea24 wanted 2/3 dB more attenuation on B/D.
C: ea16, ea21, ea24 could not be tuned. ea21 has no receiver. Not sure
what is wrong with the others
ea26 wanted 15/5 dB less attenuation on B/D. I refused to do so as
the big change might be indicitive of some other problem. I can
look at this again if this is thought to be real.
X: ea26 wanted 4 dB more attenuation
K: ea13 wanted 2/4 dB less on B/D.
ea14 wanted 4 dB less on B
Q: ea26 wanted 3dB less on B
Except where noted, all changes have been committed to evlaparms and will
take effect on next restart of the executor.
