2024.07.26
An IDA engineer visited the station and replaced the STS-1s with a T360SV seismometer.
2024.03.04
Calibration results show STS-1N long-period high pass filter failed. Trip to replace STS-1 sensors planned for Spring 2024.
2015.01.12
An IDA engineer is on-site to relocate the station computers and ancillary equipment to the vault, and upgrade the power system.
2014.11.19
The station was down on day 2014-321-09:58 due to a power problem. IDA engineers instructed the station operator to bypass the UPS and data acquisition was restored.
2012.03.20
IDA station ESK is back on-line as of day 2012,080-05:26 after the station operator restarted the fibre-optic transciever and cycled power to the digitizers.

Further communication with BGS (British Geological Survey) indicates there was a power outage around 2012,066-17:11 which caused loss of communication between the station computer and Q330 digitizers. Due to the digitizers’ limited data buffer the station is down and IDA engieers continue to work with the station operator to resolve this problem.
