DataStreams:sgpqcrad1longE10.s1, sgpqcrad1longE10.c2, sgpqcrad1longE10.s2, sgpqcrad1longE10.c1
Description:
During the night of 11/05-06 2004 the tracker failed at this location. During CM on 12/01, 
power cycling returned the tracker to service. However, tracker was not properly 
tracking in the AM. Tracker failed again sometime near 01/01/2005.	CM reloaded the tracker 
program and realigned the tracker on 01/26/2005 1600GMT correcting the problem.
