VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BB168I Observer: Bartel, N. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bb168icrd.* Date/Day: 2004JAN31/031 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= Operator is Cyrus M Reed. VCLOCK and GPS DELTA OK. UT1-UTC OK (-0.41). WEA: Cloud cover via webcam unavailable; WEA: Night at all sites. WEA: Recent precipitation at MK only - WEA: All other sites dry. 0932 Begin observing. Antennas on source. MK starts later @ 1126UT. 1126 MK now observing and on source. 1126-2133 *MK WEA: Snowing. 1226-1227 *FD Autostowed due to power bump. Repointed. COM 100 1 1316-1317 *MK Focus drive fault. Cleared. FRM 100 1 1425 New operator: T. Perreault 1429 NL AZ#1 low lubrication pressure fault. Called oncall site tech DJ, he said that it was most likely due to the cold weather (currently -18C). He said that he would call Mike (who is doing tape changes) to check the antenna. Error condition has gone away. 1510 NL Mike called, he will go in later to do a tape change and check on the AZ lube pressure. 1655 OV wea: partly cloudy, no precipitation, windy 1842 NL site tech Mike called, asking about tape. Determined that current program needs 3.8 passes and there are only 2 passes left. He will be on site in about an hour to mount up new tape. 1908 MK wea: clear, 2" of fresh snow on ground 1910 SC observing ends 1940 FD called oncall site tech Gary to let him know that they are on the last pass of the tape. He said that he would be there at 2000 UT. 2007 BR wea: high, thin broken clouds, no precipitation 2133 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.
