GPS delta all than 10 microsec. Vclock values all good. UT1-UTC values all -0.50. PT writing MkV, VSN NRAO-058, Bank A. WEA: Scattered clouds SC,BR. WEA: Clear FD,LA,PT,KP,OV,MK. %WEA: overcast NL. WEA: HN unknown (sitecam not working.) 2226 Observation Begins. 2250 New operators are Jim Ogle and Sonja Mendoza. 2258 %Raining at SC. 2357 OV reports cloudy skies. 0000 Date is 2004DEC10/345. 0022 Readbacks okay. 0110-0149 *SC Autostowed due to power failure. Will wait for 15358 100 39 power to stabilize before repointing. 0118 *SC getting AZ#1 armature overcurrent faults when 15358 we point it, stowing antenna and calling out site tech. 0119 *SC unable to reach site tech, phone circuits 15358 on the island are all busy. 0121 *SC more power glitches occuring. 15358 0128 &SC tech called in, is going out to site to check 15358 on antenna. The armature/electronics CB errors we are seeing were occuring earlier today and may not be real, he's going to check it out. 0222 *BR bad readback on track #31, drive #1. Other sites okay. 0229 %Snowing/raining/sleeting at BR. 0333-0334 *HN autostowed, probably a commercial power glitch. COM 100 1 Repointed. 0335 %Raining/sleeting at HN. 0426 End.

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.
