A quick day trip was made by Kevin Sterne and Deven Chheda on March 27th, 2015 in order to install some repaired transmitters and give a look at the site to see how things were going. This trip was originally planned after an extended network outage as well as a fear that one of the computers at the site had gone bad. However, in the days leading up to the trip the network connection as well as the issue with the computer were corrected. This left us with smaller but also important issues to complete during this trip. One of these was to install two of the four transmitters that were being worked on in the Blacksburg lab. These two had been repaired and were ready to be installed back at the site. As well, a range calibration was performed during this trip as it was noticed that sometime in mid-September, the radar's range appeared to be off. As well, this would be Deven's first trip to a SuperDARN site, so the operations and systems were explained to Deven.
