Hi Jamie,

I didn't know parkes was participating (I only had the PI's description to go by and they did not mention parkes). I can try to add parkes to the schedule, but they used some non-standard configurations and I may have to nadger
things a bit. The pi will probably still be sleeping...

Hi Cormac,

Are we expecting to use Parkes in v544a? Because I don't see it scheduled on the wiki, but we have time allocated for the experiment on the telescope (according to the PORTAL).

cheers
Jamie

hi Stuart,

my experience is that modern rubidiums are barely adequate for L-band, so I would not expect data acquired at 8 GHz to be of any use for interferometry.

cheers,
Cormac.

 This is X-Band, the
question floating around this end is will a Rubidium work (be stable enough) for 8GHz ?

 We can try if you wish ?

 Warkworth will not be able to observe

 I am very sorry but the maser has lost lock this weekend and it no longer stable. We will have to contact Symmetricon to diagnose the issue, so as yet no estimate for resolution.

 hi all,

 the schedule for tomorrow's MRO observation are ready and have been
 distributed and added to the wiki. Note that there are 2 schedules.
 v554a1 is for all stations except Hb and Mp which will run v554a2. The
 modes are the same.

 The fringe check scans for *all* stations are included in v554a1,
 starting at 05:00 UT (3 hours before the science starts). Once fringe
 checked, Hb and Mp should switch to v554a2.

 cheers,

 Cormac.
