|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Lindqvist | Onsala | Minor failures | WIND | We had to stop observing at 07:40 UT due to high wind speeds. |
| Andrea Orlati | Medicina | Minor failures | None | Antenna was not tracking the sources due to an error in Antenna Control Unit configuration. Problem fixed at 0:30 UT. |
| A. Kraus | Effelsberg | Minor failures | FORM RECO | Severe formatter communication problems all through the experiment; unclear how this affects data quality. Several attempts to improve the situation (check communication or use spare formatter) did not work (but led to a loss of a few minutes of data each time). Due to a Mark5 failure no recording was done between UT2326-2346 (reboot was necessary). Some RFI in the lower bands. |
| Kaz Borkowski | Torun | Minor failures | None | Around 1:30 UTC BBC5 lost 1pps and remained so throughout the rest of this experiment (later this bbc unit has been replaced for a spare one, so that the following exps are not affected). |
| Tony Foley | Westerbork | Minor failures | None | Wb phased array (ZP). Bad RFI about 1620MHz. System restart lost array from 01:43-01:50UT |
| Alastair Gun | Jodrell_Bank | Success | None | The Lovell Telescope was used. No known problems. |
| Alastair Gunn | Cambridge | Minor failures | ANT | VLBA rack was running with failing PSU from the start, which may have resulted in unlocked BBCs. It was almost certainly dead by 09:30 UT and was taken offline at 11:43 UT for repair. Schedule was left to run with no valid data. |
| Esther Moll | Robledo | Minor failures | HIGH RFI POIN | VC#5 (294.49MHz) degraded by L-band known RFI. VC#1 (230.49MHz) and VC#3 (262.49MHz) were less affeted. Due to a encoder problem, the antenna was operated in computer mode instead of the usual mode. Pointing was checked before the observation. gps-fmout value at 02:35:13UT : 2005.301.02:35:13.03/gps-fmout/+7.641E-007 |
