Hi all,

This one to the LBA exploder bounced, so trying again. Please let me know by Wednesday if you’re planning to attend the workshop.

Thanks,
Jim

>Hi everyone,
>
>We will be hosting a mini-Technical Operations Workshop (mini-TOW) at Mt Pleasant Observatory from June 12 to 15. The main purpose of this is training on operation and maintenance of hardware and software used in the AuScope VLBI array telescopes for staff located at Yarragadee, Katherine and Hobart. However, there is a large overlap with other observatories using or planning to use “Patriot” antennas, DBBCs and Mark5 recorders for geodesy (e.g. Warkworth).
>
>The mini-TOW will be a subset of the biennial Haystack TOW, focussing on the hardware and software specific to AuScope-like observatories. Ed Himwich and Rich Strand will be visiting from Haystack to lead some of the lectures and tutorials. There will also be a session covering operation and maintenance of the 12m “Patriot” antenna from Brett. We also plan to spend some time discussing the DBBC including usage, calibration, control and monitoring. If there are any areas of particular interest you’d like covered, please let me know.
>
>A more detailed program will be sent out in the coming weeks but at this stage I’d like to get an indication on numbers. Please let me know by May 15 if you plan on attending. . There may be a registration fee to cover catering.

>Cheers,
>Jim
