Hehe, those darn Antarctic Postal System people not
wanting to deliver
just because their lungs freeze immediately. So in the interim what did
you do to get the monitoring up int he event that you had no replacement?
I seem to recall that what we did was to bring the dongle from the
satellite ground station itself and brought it back to town. People
at the ground station couldn't monitor the power system from the control
room - they had to go to the generator room and to the battery room,
but we in town (40 miles away) could call them on the phone and tell
them there was a problem (all of our traffic, internet and telephone,
went through them over a microwave link, so calling them was no problem).
The replacement ($500) arrived about 10 days before the start of Winter.
