Handover notes
Please use this page to write up any notes on anything that needs to be passed on to the next observer or should go into the end of experiment message.
Notes should be placed below the horizontal line as a new blog entry.
Continuing problems should be copied to the Current Issues page.
**Template for Handover notes:**
Be sure to add any specific notes about the experiment if required, for example “Special back end configuration for x reason”. Put as much detail as you can - the more the better.
====== Experiment Name ====== **Hobart 12m** Disk VSN: abc-123 | Data volume at beginning: 2.34 GB * 1300UT a comment from me (user) **Katherine 12m** Disk VSN: | Data volume at beginning: GB * **Yarragadee 12m** Disk VSN: | Data volume at beginning: GB * 1300UT Experiment started okay (JMc).
Format for entering a comment It is important to stick to this formula - there is a good reason we need this information, so please include it!
Time stamp in UT * Comment * (Your Name)
For Example:
20:00UT: Wind stows, Missed scans 012-3456 to 012-3457 (Jim)
20:50UT: Mark5 lost connection, had to restart Mark5 and reconfigure DBBC, called Jamie on call to fix, missed scans 012-3456 to 012-4567 (Jim)
Again - as much detail as you can. It is important to remember that these notes will be sent to the correlator, so please make sure they make sense to others.

Hobart
Recording to HOB+0108, starting disk position 357.371 GB (Tiege)
- 18:30 UT - Experiment started OK (Tiege)
- 0113 UT: Schedule halted for maintenance. (JMc)
- 0536 UT: Schedule resumed. First useful data at 0544 (JMc)

Katherine
Recording to MED-0015, starting disk position 0.288 (Tiege)
- 18:30 UT - Experiment started OK (Tiege)
Yarragadee
Recording to UVLBI-30, starting disk position 0.385 GB (Tiege)
- 18:30 UT - Experiment started OK (Tiege)
- 18:45 UT - repeating error of “ALARM: error s5 -104 rfpcn: time-out, connection closed” every few minutes, waited until the next gap in scans and restarted Rxmon on pcfsyg. Appears to have alleviated the problem. If this error is critical then all scans up to 238-1847a (inclusive) were affected. (Tiege)

Hobart 26m:
Disk VSN: HOB+0068
Data volume at beginning: 0.0 Gb
- 1730 UT Receiver was stuck on L band. OTTER interface had crashed, needed J-Mac's help to restart the OTTER server and successfully communicate with the receiver again. Caltsys was giving error due to it being setup for the DBBC instead of the mark 4, J-Mac edited the .prc file (I think?) . (Arwin)
- 1815 UT Experiment started late due to the above mentioned problems. First scan will be 237-1828 at 1828, source = 2353-686. (Arwin)

Hobart
- recording to HOB+0108, starting disk position 0.00 GB (Lucas)
- Experiment started late due to Space X tracking, first scan 236-1805 @ 18:05:21UT (can log person please double check this is correct, Lucas).
- 0100UT: Experiment halted for maintenance (JMc)
- 0530UT: Experiment terminated - Maintenance could not be completed today and antenna not in a usable state (JMc). No further observations with Hb12.
Katherine
