I believe Dave Ward was there on April 1st to swap out the satellite
transmitter, leaving the small antenna on the station. At that point,
we started getting intermittent transmissions again after a silent
period that began on February 23rd.
The underwater BIC failed on Sunday, April 2nd.
Transmissions stopped entirely again on Friday, April 28th. I think I
heard second-hand from Louis that this was when Dave went back to put
the original (larger) antenna back on the the station. Dave still has
the smaller antenna in storage somewhere.
