Subject:	NSA/MWRP/C1 - Calibration drift
DataStreams:	nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:	The radiometer showed increased drift in the K-band calibration. Several attempts to correct for the drift did not return the expected result. Instrument was removed from service 20110201 and returned to vendor for repair. Data are erratic; data use during the indicated time is not recommended.

Subject:	NSA/MWRP/C1 - Incorrect brightness temperatures
DataStreams:	nsamwrpC1.b1
Description:	The radiometer was reinstalled on 4/3/2011 but the 30 GHz data immediately appeared extremely noisy. The problem appears related to noise diode instability.

Subject:	NSA/KAZR/C1 - Polarizer rotated
DataStreams:	nsakazrciC1.b1, nsakazrgeC1.b1, nsakazr3253C1.a0
Description:	The cross-polarization returns were higher than the co-polarization returns causing a positive linear depolarization ration. This cannot be correct. Upon further investigation, it was suggested that waveguide going to the antenna feed polarizer was possibly rotated by 45 degrees resulting in the antenna transmitting circular polarization rather than linear polarization. Rotating the polarizer in June did not correct the problem. It turns out that there is a polarizer in the antenna feed. Rotated the OMT by 45 degrees and substituted micro-coax cable instead of waveguide. During the time covered by this DQR, the "co-polarization" variables are circularly polarized opposite of the transmitted polarization. The "cross-polarization" variables are the same circular polarization as the transmitted signal.
