VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BW067N Observer: Walker, R.C. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bw067ncrd.* Date/Day: 2003DEC16/350 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= 0035 Begin file VCLOCK check ok. SC at -0.157 UT1-UTC check ok. GPS delta < 10 us Operator: T. Perreault 0035-1136 *NL not observing. Problem was initally written up 13025 100 661 as a blown EL fuse (currents were 0 amps). Site tech replaced fuse and when antenna was pointed noted that there was a "grinding" sound coming frol the EL axis / gears. Antenna is under inspection and is locked out. Antenna is unpointable. 0035-1136 *KP high system temperatures on channels 1 and 2 INT 50 330 (328.49 MHz RCP and LCP). Checked most recent RFI plots for KP, noted that there is an RFI spike very close to this frequency. 0040 Readback check ok 0153 Readback check ok 0306 Readback check ok 0415 MK joins 0420 Readback check ok 0534 Readback check ok 0640 %High wind gusts at KP. 0641 New operator is Jim Ogle. 0643 Readbacks okay. 0648 Readbacks okay. 0757 Readbacks okay. 0802 Readbacks okay. 0917 Readbacks okay. 0921 Readbacks okay. 1001 %Raining at SC. 1041 Readbacks okay. 1102 Readbacks okay. 1130 End at MK. 1136 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 991 min Percentage downtime of observing: 15.0% Average downtime per hour : 9.0 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 6610 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.
