Subject: Re: BK121B Schedules deposited on ASPEN (ToO for SGR 1806-20 on Jan 6 UT)

Hello Mike and all,

We were able to get the VLBA schedule and get set up before the start
of our VLBA observing schedule, BUT then we were shut down for
high winds.  At 18:32 UT we were back on source.  We
also were able to setup the GBT Spigot to observe simultaneously.

The Normal GBT VLBA setup calls for a band pass filter in
the range 1.3 to 1.45 GHz.  So this strongly limits the
detectable signal in the 0.8 GHz Pulsar spigot mode used for
the piggy back operations.  The Spigot observations
running at 18:36 UT

Glen
