stemwinder Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 DIX is up right now, but animation requires it being up for a good time frame. Thanks to everyone who worked on it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Lightning Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thank goodness for DOX; I once thought it was a waste of a radar since we had DIX(and I along with another meteorologist in Huntsville were going to hijack it and move it down there where there's a gap), but after this week I have gained much more respect for it.

Rib Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So what exactly was the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Gaines Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 So what exactly was the problem? Several parts were replaced and then blew up as they were being replaced due to an issue with a central part. Specialists from Oklahoma were finally able to help resolve the issue.

BBasile Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Aaaaaaaand down................. Several parts were replaced and then blew up as they were being replaced due to an issue with a central part. Specialists from Oklahoma were finally able to help resolve the issue. Did they blow up again? Hopefully it's not serious this time, or it looks like it's DOX and PHL to the rescue once more.

stemwinder Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It must have come down in the last hour, since I had checked it earlier, and it was working. No mention of it in the WU discussion. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 WU discussion? Sorry. That was cryptic. I meant the NWS scientific discussion found on the Weather Underground page. That went out this morning, so naturally it had no information. UPDATE - Radar seems alright as of this posting. Good luck, DIX! T Storms are alive and well in E PA.
