BR writing on Mk5 disk NRAO-061, bank A. MK writing on Mk5 disk NRAO-137, bank B. Vclock, GPS delta and UT1-UTC time checks all ok. %BR WEA: Raining. %OV WEA: High wind gusts in excess of 35mph. 1100 Begin observation. 1100-1103 *SC,NL,PT,OV,MK: It appears that the observe files HUERR 400 12 for these stations have tape rather than Mk5 disk allocated. Resending the observe files, and rebooting the station computers. MK has no data loss since the source is still below the horizon. 1147-1156 *FD,LA,KP,BR,HN: Observation idle... reason unknown. OTHER 500 45 Resending observe files, rebooting station computers. 1210-1212 *SC Antenna out of point; probable power glitch. COM 100 2 Repointed. 1256 SC WEA: Site tech reports clear skies, dry. 1432 New operator is Brian Willard. 1500 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.
