- | * **Comments**: This time we use the AzEl data as provided by Jing directly. Tracking went well. Wrong frequencies during quasar tracking in Ke. Only last quasar should have correct freqs. Overhead track at Yg. Signal in x-band was pulsing, then at 20 deg hard pulsing. Lost the signal right as scheduled. However, the slewing took longer than scheduled, came back 16 sec late. | + | * **Comments**: 26m antenna was not available (no tracking). Couldn't observe the signal live on the SA (problems with internet connection) |
