Participating Tid telescopes:
DSS-43 (70m) with DVP (at S/X-RCP) recording MK5 HOB+1005/16000/1024 (shipped to Parkes for e-transfer)
and
DSS-36 (34m) with LBA-DR (at X-RCP, vsop_f.pro)
Below is allocated Tid time:
DOY 168 0650-1220 DSS-43 S/X DVP
DOY 168 2030-2200 DSS-43 S/X DVP
DOY 169 0655-0835 DSS-43 S/X DVP
DOY 169 1245-1615 DSS-36 X LBA-DR
DOY 169 1400-2200 DSS-43 S/X DVP
Note for correlator: There was an issue with 70m dichroic mirror around this epoch that may cause the S-band reception not to work properly. Please give us feedback how you find the data. Shinji Horiuchi

Due to the error with the program to generate the DVP script from the vex file the channel frequency allocation was based on a wrong LO frequency of 2100 MHz while the true LO frequency was 2000 MHz.
Note added on 10 August - Tsys files have been generated and distributed to PI and uploaded to the ftp incoming directory.
