We are using the .snp file generated by GSFC and picked up from cddis. We will be recording mark 5 on a 2TB module. Our drudg generated 178 tape labels! Possibly a known bug with drudg. This is the first of this type of experiment which Hobart has been involved in. We have tested the schedule. We note that 8 VCs only will be used. We note that VC10 correctly patches to High using the IF3 switch. We will ship the module to Socorro. We are currently running OHIG42 which ends 30 minutes prior to RDV55. The start of RDV55 is 5am local time. We may not get the ready message out while setting up after OHIG42 but all seems to be in place. The observatory phone number is + 613 6248 5285 Paul van Tienen will start the experiment running.

Additional experiment notes: Recorded 637 GB on Mark 5 module USN-0200/2000/1024 to be sent to Socorro using Australian airExpress (DHL). We now have 12 modules remaining at the station after this weeks experiments. Missed scans between 1006 and 1056. There seems to have been a problem communicating with the antenna drive PC and then the PCFS crashed. Needed to restart both drive PC and PCFS machine. The printed schedule summary had wrong line numbers as it was drudged differently to the .snp schedule file used. So the wrong line number was entered to restart the schedule and it took 15 minutes for the schedule to catch up. The schedule ran OK after this. There are regular IF2 overflow messages in the log. The IF2 overflow message did not occur after the schedule resumed normally. The reason for this is unknown at this stage but the S band pass bands looked similar for both periods.
