So we get some info from our interview Friday evening, but it looks like it's not going to be a carrier/transmitter issue. The new sim card doesn't seem to be solving the problem, and the band on which the local companies broadcast had indeed been one that Waylon was testing on. So, it looks like it's time to resolder and change capacitance. This is sub optimal -- more work for Waylon than is ideal, but he's optimistic about the solution.
He and Erica go shopping Saturday morning for a soldering iron, capacitors, heat shrink tubing, and other fun things. He's upstairs soldering now.
Today is Nawruz, which is a major holiday. We we were trying to wrap up work by 2 so we could go downtown and take in some of the festivities. Schedule is slipping a bit, but we should be able to head out in a bit.
More on the overall day (including our training in usability testing!) later.
