Hi all,

Just a quick update - we now have 256 Mbps PAMELA (Pks-At-Mop). Cool!
The cluster is about 60% loaded, so we might be able to squeeze Hobart in
at this rate, but I think the link will limit Hobart to 128 Mbps. Anyway,
in about an hour we'll try to bring Hobart to the array and if that works
we'll set off the first Australian eVLBI imaging experiment!

Cheers,
Adam

PS This uses post-F fringe rotation, which is fine for the LBA doing
continuum at L band. Higher frequencies and/or more spectral resolution
would require pre-F fringe rotation, which would add a bit of
computational load and probably require us to drop back to 128 Mbps with
the existing cluster.
