NSA/MWRP/C1 - Spare radiometer installed
DataStreams:nsamwrpC1.00, nsamwrpC1.b1, nsamwrprawC1.00
Description:
A spare radiometer was provided by Radiometrics while they try to fix our MWRP. The spare 
radiometer is of the same family as the one we have in Barrow and it will stay at the 
site until our radiometer is repaired.
A LN2 calibration will be performed next week.

NSA/MWRP/C1 - Intermittent data
DataStreams:nsamwrpC1.00, nsamwrpC1.b1, nsamwrprawC1.00
Description:
A spare radiometer was installed a the site to substitute the malfunctioning radiometer 
(see DQRs D080409.2 and D080421.1). During this time the spare radiometer had problems 
starting and was stopping collection suddenly. Data during this time are very intermittent 
with large gaps.
