Channel 4 afffected only very slightly. 2148-2149 *PT Mark5 communications glitch. 19415 100 1 2352-2353 *PT Mark5 communications glitch. 19415 100 1 0000 Date is 2006DEC04/338. 0016-0017 *PT Mark5 communications glitch. 19415 100 1 0018-0019 *PT Mark5 communications glitch. 19415 100 1 0048 Begin at MK. 0225 New operator: T. Perreault 0306-0307 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0344-0345 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0411 %MK wea: raining 0526-0527 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0538-0539 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0549-0551 *PT Mark5 not recording. OTHER 100 2 Pack in bank A (NRAO-104) filled up and switched to pack in bank B (VIPSU-05). Recorded 0.35 Gb then stopped. Before I could do anything, source change happened and recording restarted ok. Got a message at 05:49:26 UT that: "BB228A writing on tape ???????? on drive 2" Will report this to Walter Brisken. 0615 EB observing ends 0624-0625 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0642-0643 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0747-0748 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0820-0821 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0906 SC observing ends 0916 Y observing ends 0918-0919 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0931-0932 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0939-0940 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 0944-0945 *PT Mark5 communications lost error. 19415 100 1 1031 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 573 min Percentage downtime of observing: 5.8% Average downtime per hour : 3.5 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 9801 min (11) 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.
