Description:
The MMCR at SGP has experienced a degradation of its processing capability that has 
resulted in a 7% reduction in the number of scans the MMCR makes.  This is uniformly 
distributed throughout the day.  REF:  ARM PIF P020723.1

There is nothing wrong with the data but there is a reduction in the amount of data 
collected.

Subject:
SGP/MMCR/C1 - Transmitter tube faults
DataStreams:sgpmmcrcalC1.00, sgpmmcrcalC1.a1, sgpmmcrmomentsC1.00, sgpmmcrmomentsC1.a1
Description:
The transmitter tube was replaced and the new tube began exhibiting helix current faults.  
During the period of time covered by this DQR, there were extensive data gaps when the 
TWTA quit transmitting due to the helix current faults. This TWTA was removed and sent 
back to the vendor for repair.  The TWTA that was in prior use was reinstalled.
