Vclock, GPS delta, UT1-UTC values nominal. 0138 Begin at all sites. 0139 Readbacks good MK. 0239 Readbacks good all sites. 0307 %FD: occasional very high wind gusts. 0319-0356 *FD: high wind autostow. WEA 100 37 0352 %HN: bad readbacks track 32, drive 1.

Restarted scan to reload the position commands. 0756-0821 *FD very high wind speeds, AZ motor currents are WEA 100 25 running very high. Stowing antenna for a while to protect the motors and wait for the winds to calm down a bit. 0835 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 85 min Percentage downtime of observing: 2.0% Average downtime per hour : 1.2 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 4170 min (10) Notes: * = Entries where data was affected. % = Entries where data may have been affected. & = Entries where the site tech was called out. WEA = Weather entries. MF# = Maintenance form or major downtime category associated with a problem. %AD = The percentage of an antenna affected by a problem. AMD = Total antenna-minutes downtime for a problem. Tsys = System Temperature (TP/SP x Tcal/2) ACU = Antenna Control Unit FRM = Focus/Rotation Mount RFI = Radio Frequency Interference VME = Site control computer CB = Circuit Breaker vclock = Program that compares site clock time to a standard.
