EC Systems - Report from Dave in Sarawak

Hi Dudes, both stations installed and now having a break for a day. Amazing place and friendly people. They have been introducing us to their unique food , water chicken (frog), flying fox (yes the bat), wild boar, goat mud crab, and fish in many different ways washed down with bucket loads of Heineken. It’s all been great, even the bat. The first station went up without a hitch apart from a minor glitch with the net radiometer. The second station was a 1.5 km walk through knee deep peat sludge. Once up the tower a local swarm of honey bees came to visit us at the 10 metre level. I was working with about 100-200 bees sitting on my shirt drinking the sweat out of it. Occasionally they would get inside the shirt and that’s when I was stung (6 time in all). The 2nd tower is functioning - the shorter SDM cable worked a treat. Dave.
