Communication

As the old lightning protections for the phones were no longer available on the market and we were running out of spares all were replaced by a different type. The lightning storm mentioned before did not cause any problem so they clearly work properly.

Some tested were made with radio walkie-talkies to check if it is possible to link the telescope to FIES building, service building and Residencia, but due to their limited power and the amount of metal in the telescope it did not work properly and a a different system is being tried.
