Hello, Dick,

Wiggle Test #7 is complete, and the data has been retransmitted.  The solar
array panel did not latch.

Time line is below.  There should be clean data between 21:04:00 - 21:50:00.
Same configuration as yesterday.  Data from DSS 65.

DOY 023 - times are approximate and in UTC ERT

20:35:55 run DSP
20:41:15 attenuation to 57 dB
20:47:00 s/c went 2-way, DSP has 1-way predicts - lost signal
21:02:40 s/c went to LGA 1-way
21:03:45 atten. to 33 dB
21:29:25 moved solar panel into wiggle position
21:32:30 array in position
21:34:00 wiggle
21:39:30 array back to normal position
21:52:00 back to HGA - atten. back to 57 dB
22:06:15 idle DSP

The plot from yesterday looks good.  Is it possible to get more detail in
the wiggle by averaging less?  The spacecraft team likes to see the detail.
That's what they can't get with telemetry.

Thanks.

-Trish

P.S.  The beginning of the HGA data at the end of Wiggle #6 has the wrong
attenuation, but it was fixed within a minute or two.  If it is a bad
setting toward the end of the HGA period of 1-way, then I am not doing
something right.
