Bluescat1 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 That's the other story -- the techies having to be out in that crap trying to fix it. I know it's not your fault at all as the radar is simply a POS. I am sure our current Congress will appropriate the money to fix it in the name of good science.

Scotty Lightning Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It has been fixed. With what? A rubber band and some scotch tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGorse Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 With what? A rubber band and some scotch tape? I hope you are kidding. Otherwise this comes across as a cheap shot at the technicians that spent numerous hours getting the radar fixed with new parts that were flown in. Just wait till the next time it rains. Thanks! Appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always respect the Mt. Holly guys(and even plug you guys in New York when you picked up on things that Upton doesn't....i.e. Irene). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Mike, Never a knock on mt. Hollys guys/gals and techs. Just knocking the bad luck the site has had the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonwx Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 joining this conversation a bit late, but is it a matter of this unit needing to be replaced or do they just occasionally break down and need repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 joining this conversation a bit late, but is it a matter of this unit needing to be replaced or do they just occasionally break down and need repair? Given the cost, it will likely not be replaced. They do fail at times given the wear and tear, however maintenance is done on them routinely. Everyone should keep in mind that these radars are always running even during quiet weather. The only downtime really is when maintenance is being performed on them.

Just because it needs a timing belt, you don't run out and buy a new car (although we would all like too!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 you don't have my wife. I prefer the analogy if I'm not swinging well just go out and buy a new driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for myself, I haven't been over there in upwards of a week. I'm slacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
