Hobart 26m:

Disk VSN:HOB+0015/6000/

Data volume at beginning:0

• 17:00 UT – started OK (Liza)
• 23:10 UT – power levels in if3 adjusted. VCs look happier now (Lucia).
• 05:00 UT – vacuum pressure has been increasing over the last two (03 UT - 05 UT )hours. Now reset the vacuum pump and it is under 3.5 again. Receiver still warm. Possibly bad scans from 202-0303 ongoing due to warm receiver (up to 140K). (Lucia)
• 11:18 UT – Windstowed (JS)
• 12:05 UT – Still windstowed (JS)
• 13:50 UT – Still windstowed (JS)
• 14:01 UT – Not windstowed! Missed scans 202-1118a to 202-1359a (JS)
• Drives error at ~16:10. No sources reached between 16:11 and 16:58 (JMc)

Katherine 12m:

Disk VSN: UVLBI-06/2400/

Data volume at beginning: 0

• 17:00 UT – experiment started OK not without fight with dbbc: the huge formatter-to-GPS clock difference (1E-1) forced to restart and reconfigure DBBC software before observation started (liza)
• 04:28 UT – fs restarted. Fs has died when extracting a whole lot of data from Monica. Missed scans 202-0408 through 202-0430. 202-0436 should be fine again. Recording was running when fs stopped working; so disk pos now 15 GB ahead. (Lucia)
