Interrogation Site Metadata
TC4 - Trout Creek at 43 Road Bridge
Status: Active - Non-OperationalGeneral Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 9/15/2014 12:00 AM
An instream interrogation system consisting of two antenna arrays at rkm 11.0 of Trout Creek, a tributary of the Wind River, WA. The site is at the bridge where Forest Road 43 crosses Trout Creek. Each antenna array has three 20-foot antennas covering a total of 60 feet, which spans the wetted area of the stream at most flows. The transceiver is a FS1001M. Power is provided by solar panels charging a battery bank. Downloads are manual and typically done during weekly site visits, though that interval may be longer during winter due to snow.

New antennas were installed in the 5 and 6 positions to replace broken ones. Ian |
| 12/28/2022 9:31:00 AM | General |
At about 0900 on 12/28/2022, high water brought a large alder tree with rootwad through the array. Antenna 5 was broken, Antennas 6 and 3 may have had underwater connections loosened. On 1/20/2023, took Antenna 5 and 6 out of sequence. Antenna 3 is still running. Need to wait until can drive road to make repairs. Ian |
| 7/21/2022 3:53:00 PM | General |
On 7/21/22, TC4 changed transceiver type from MUX to MTS. Began operation on 7/21 with antennas 1, 2, 3, and 4. Antennas 5 and 6 began running under MTS on 7/22/22. |

| 8/16/2017 11:18:12 AM | General | Data was not recorded at TC4 from 18 July 2017 through 6 August 2017 due to lithium battery failure. Ian |
| 3/14/2017 11:11:25 AM | General | TC4 was down for winter from 7 December 2016 through 28 February 2017. Continued heavy snow and ice kept us from getting to the site. The site also experienced power loss from 1 March 2017 at about noon to 10 March 2017 at about noon. During operation, noise levels have been high. Ian |

Both had been damaged in flooding in fall 2015 and we have just been able to access the site with low enough water to replace. Antenna 4 is still out. Once we repair one of the antennas we just pulled out it can replace number 4. Ian |
| 4/1/2016 2:55:53 PM | General | On 4/1/16 we reconnected the cable to antenna 6. Also replaced the cable to antenna 3, which had been causing noise and amperage trouble. Ian |
