Polaris Document Distribution Center

This is a first attempt in creating a Polaris Document Distribution Center where soft copies of all field procedures and other useful documents can be found. Expect many people to contribute to this and plan to have a current version on Polaris Web site. At this time, the structure of is rather arbitrary and the intention is to include everything and to clean it up as we go along.

Remote Site Scouting Report

Many more items need to be considered but here is a brief list to start with. Annotated digital camera pictures would help identify the essential site details quickly. Key information from this report will be used during the site installation.
