VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BL149AG Observer: Lister, M. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bl149agcrd.* Date/Day: 2007SEP06/249 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= Operator is Alan Kerr %WEA: NL,PT overcast. SC, OV windy. GPS delta (-9.1 MK), UT1-UTC: -0.17, vclock OK. 1311 Begin 1311-1245 *HN AZ axle broken. out for entire project. 21189 100 1414 1343 %KP Raining 1345 New Operator: Paul Padilla 1633 New operator is Jim Ogle. 1742 %Raining at NL. 1751-1815 *LA Mark5 communications lost, appears to have REC 100 24 crashed. Having site tech reboot it. 1815-1816 *LA Mark5 is working again but it is recording at SW 100 1 512 Mbps instead of 256 Mbits. Did a REOBS to reload schedule, it switched to proper data rate. 1845-1852 *LA Mark5 communications lost again. Site tech REC 100 7 removed disc pack we were recording on and rebooted, hopefully switching to a new pack will stop this from happening again. 1916 MK reports clear skies. 1930-1936 *OV Mark5 communications lost. Will try a reboot. REC 100 6 1936-1937 *OV working again but recording at 512 Mbits SW 100 1 instead of 256 Mbits. Restarted scan, it changed to proper data rate. 2008 New Operator: Paul Padilla 2141 %LA Raining. 2149 New Operator is Heidi Gerhardt 2215 *NL raining 0000 Date is 2007SEP07/250. 0015-0018 KP comm down, system disconnected itself from dial COM backup.
