[TangerineSDR] Magnetometer testing

[Kim, Hyomin]

Dave - thanks for the update.

As Dave mentioned, our prototype magnetometer has been deployed at Jenny
Jump. I am expecting to receive data that have been obtained for the past
week. The data will be compared with the data from a science magnetometer
that is co-located there. I will determine what further testing should be
done after the data are examined.
