The recording on the second tape was 1 minute late, due to the problems with unloading the first tape - there was a postpass in the schedule, and only 15 minutes for tape change.We have had interrupt the postpass, but there wasn't enough time to mount the second tape on time. |

Due to date error in the MERLIN schedule, telescope stayed on j1832+13 from 23:57 until end of schedule. This was not noticed by the operator. Other problems occuring after 00:00 UT are therefore irrelevant. There was a postpass after the first tape! |

Tape reel loaded skew, may have affected first pass. No data loss during mis-scheduled post-pass of first tape (manual override.) |

LATE |
We started a little late, and were first on source at 03:59:45 UT. There was a problem with the emergency stop, which caused a loss of time from 08:45 to 10:41 UT. The last two scans, following 13:38 UT, were lost because part of the scan would have been below the horizon. Note that the "onsource" indication was erroneously showing the telescope was off-source from 10:41 to 12:06 UT, although it was on source during those times. The phase cal was not working until about 13:00 UT. We are |

FS |
During the tape change the FS tried to postpass the tape. There was insufficient time so time was lost from 03:50 to 04:48 restarting the tape in sync. |
