The current measured clock offset between the master station clock and our
GPS timing receiver is about -2.5 usec with the GPS leading the maser.

Have fun

Hi Chris

[From a bleary eyed dialup at home ...]

Well the automated VLBI startup seems to be working well, the telescop is
tracking the eastern horizon ( the source won't rise till ~00:36 UT ) and
data is flowing to disk. Of course since I'm recording continuously we
can't access any data until after 02:00 UT when the recording stops.

Feel free to log in to

   oper_at_mark5-591.<!--nospam-->hartrao.ac.za

and use "tstMark5A" to export any scan fragment you choose. One word of
caution - our outgoing traffic is limited to about 310kb/s so don't get
too exuberant about how much data you want :-)

Regards
  Jon

>The seems to be a little confusion about vt02f1. This experiment is
intended to be *setup* and fringe test. As such I have been assuming
peple will use the first few to intsall receivers. check coherence, run
up the disk recorders and look at the data quality locally etc. I hope
that by about 11am ADST (0:00UT) that everybody is ready and we can run
a real time fringe check.
