Re: Your Webicorders...
Hello James, Our Winston server which creates and delivers the webicorder images has been having some troubles (internally, we have some different tools to analyze seismic data), and this is a time when our geophysical stations typically run into station power troubles, as the large batteries in the huts are running very low and our solar panels don't provide much power at this time of year (there is not much sun, and they are often covered in deep snow!). We definitely don't think the malfunctions are due to something large and subsurface. Thank you , cheryl I've been monitoring your online activity for a while now. What's going on? It seems like all of your recorders are going offline. I estimated from looking that at least 2/3rds of them are down or are experiencing some sort of difficulty. In my personal opinion and based on observations spanning at least 2 decades in this area, I believe that something big is going on beneath our feet. I also believe that whatever is going on down below is affecting all of your recording devices. It could be that the signals being generated and picked up by the recording devices, are causing the devices to be overloaded. This in turn leads to what appears to be a malfunction. I could be wrong. But I would suggest taking at least 3 of your webicorder devices that are not working, and dial back on the signal receiver. Reduce 2 of them to 20%, but the third one, dial it down slowly until the signal comes back online. The other 2 might start working right off the bat, but it's more likely that after you reduce the incoming signal power of the receiver, you will likely need to reset and reboot before it begins to record again. I'm no expert, but I do know that sensitive recording devices like these are susceptible to signal overload. But hey, you're the experts, so what do I know? Please, be well and take care.
