However, since it will not be possible to schedule the re-observations in the very near future, and in order not to abandon valuable observing time on the VLBA+Y1+GBT, we would like to have the current data correlated. If we do not achieve our scientific goals, we will repropose next year.

Everything went smoothly and all scans were observed. The weather was not too great, with overcast skies and drizzle for the X-band and rain for the C-band run, so system temperatures were a little high. The phase cals were working ok at C-band, but at X-band were very weak. Possibly the X-band phase cals are usable. Tapes SVLB0419 and VLBA0594 will be shipped to Socorro as of today. -- frank From tghosh@naic.eduThu Sep 4 13:23:48 2003 Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 13:56:09 -0400 (AST) From: tghosh@naic.edu To: vlbiobs@nrao.edu Cc: emomjian@nrao.edu, jromney@nrao.edu, vlbi-grp@naic.edu Subject: BM193A and BM193B at Arecibo Arecibo Took part in BM193A and BM193B. Tapes have now been mailed to Socorro, and log files are also loaded on to ASPEN. However, we are rather apprehensive about the success of BM193A. During this X-band observation, the LO-frequecny synthesizer was found to have been out-of-lock. We regret it very much that, on the night of the observing, it wasn't detected and rectified. BM193B, at 5-GHz should be fine though, as the problem was fixed the following day. If Arecibo was vital to BM193A, we recommend re-scheduling the run. With most sincere apologies. Tapasi Ghosh
