OKI - Inkaneep Creek
Status: Active - OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 4/28/2015 12:00 AM
Two 8-foot antennas are installed in Inkaneep Creek, a tributary to the Okanagan River in Canada, immediately upstream of the bridge at Radio Tower Road. Each antenna is connected to an IS1001 and controlled by a Biomark Master Controller. The MC is housed in a shed operated by the Water Survey of Canada. The antennas are approximately 1 km from the Creek mouth, which empties into Osoyoos Lake. The site uses AC power. The site was originally installed with three antennas and used a QuBE as the controller, but was updated to current configuration in April 2019.

Configuration
Configuration metadata includes details about the equipment used at the site to detect and record PIT tags. A new configuration sequence record is created when equipment is added or removed from the site and the period of time it was active. A configuration sequence without an End Date is currently active.

| 12/18/2023 2:00:00 AM | GMC |
Downstream antenna intermittently down - has been intermittently falling out of tune since October, although antenna is still displaying 'connected'. Have been able to retune on two occasions. During troubleshooting, switched nodes of each antennas, and can not accurately determine the issue. Will return to site soon to troubleshoot further. |
| 8/23/2023 12:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Upstream and Downstream Antennas Running: Both antennas installed and functioning. Replaced upstream antenna due to antenna being flooded. Re-installed downstream antenna. Drove new duckbill anchors and replaced all straps. |
| 6/9/2023 1:03:00 PM | SiteUp |
Upstream Antenna Working, Downstream not Working: Site fixed now that water is low enough to enter stream, access damage, and conduct repairs. Currently upstream antenna is in place and functioning. Downsteam antenna was ripped out and holding on by one strap; therefore, it was removed due to anchors and straps missing, along with severed cables. Downstream antenna will be re-installed when new cables are built and a hydraulic post-pounder is soured in order to reinstall new anchors. |
| 5/6/2023 1:01:00 PM | SiteDown |
Site down due to damage from spring freshet. Unsafe at the time to enter water to assess and repair. |
| 4/8/2022 11:00:00 AM | SiteUp |
Spliced and fixed wiring on upstream antenna - entire site (both antennas) now fully functioning. |
| 7/30/2021 1:11:00 PM | GMC |
Conducted Visual Inspection at OKI to determine why upstream Antenna 02 is not working. Found exposed wiring due to degraded sheath - Most likely to be reason for issues. Will look to see if we have spare cable or if one can be ordered.

Upstream Antenna Running, Downstream Not Running. |
| 4/11/2019 4:15:00 PM | SiteUp | Installed 2 antennas on April 10, that had been washed away. Now there are two 10 foot antennas, each spanning the entire width of the creek, They are located just upstream of the bridge. Site was powered up on April 11. |
| 4/9/2018 3:35:00 PM | SiteDown | Mudslide washed away 2 of 3 antennas. System powered down. Out indefinitely. |
