Yep. We had a nice super-bright beam, just like from the short cables. It wasn't perfect, though. I don't know if it was the wind, or the length of the run, but in the morning session we were getting false finish trips all over the place! It was better in the afternoon, but there were still 4 or 5 false trips during the session. I'm wondering if the wind was pushing on the spool the cables ran through or something, because we weren't getting false start trips. Maybe next time we'll tie the interconnects into knots... take some stress off the joints.
Also a BIG THANK YOU to the guys that rolled up all that cable! Albert, Chuck Ray, and a couple other guys rolled it all back up for us before we knew what happened. A job that I was NOT looking forward to, haha. You guys rock.
