This is the link to the Station Checking Procedure. It is similar to the Aust14 procedure, but please follow it carefully. If the gap between the schedules is only half an hour and it is time to do a station check, please do the whole station check, then start the schedule after the station check is complete.
IMPORTANT! When preparing for a system check, please be sure recording has stopped and that the disks are idle. Check if the recording is running, for example, with the command
mk5=dot?
If responce to the command contains 'FHG_on', recording is active, terminate with
disk_record=off
and check again. 'FHG_off' indicates that recording is off.
Since the station checks are after schedules have finished, it is unlikely the Mark 5 will still be recording, but it is important to check anyway.
Aust15 Module Schedule
Observers please note: DO NOT edit this spreadsheet unless absolutely necessary.
It is important to stick to this schedule. All stations are very short on big modules in February, so there isn't any margin for error.
