SC at -0.202 UT1-UTC check ok (0.17) GPS delta < 10 us Operator: T. Perreault 0029-0035 *PT autostowed. Power glitch. Repointed. COM 100 6 0029-0943 *PT This note has been added to log post-observing. 18879 100 554 It is possible that all data for PT site is bad, due to a formatter board issue thought fixed earlier today. The PCAL data plot shows no amplitudes. 0029 RFI present at multiple sites - SC & FD - on channels 7 and 8 (channel 7: 1775.00 MHz, channel 8: 1798.00 MHz; LCP, lower sideband) 0040-0049 *PT autostowed. Power glitch. Repointed. COM 100 9 0051-0126 *PT autostowed again due to power glitches. COM 100 35 Will leave it out for a bit, see if power issues settle down. 0105 PT continuing power glitches 0156 LA, MK lost communication with the sites 0210 LA, MK on dial backup 0246 SC WEA: Precipitation starting. 0330-0333 *PT autostowed. Power glitch. Repointed. COM 100 3 0540 Operator is Sonja Mendoza. 0628 SC WEA: Precipitation starting. 0628 LA WEA: Precipitation starting. 0814-0820 *KP autostowed; probable power glitch.

Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 613 min Percentage downtime of observing: 11.1% Average downtime per hour : 6.6 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 5540 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.
