Medicina (A.Maccaferri at Tue Feb 29 11:49:38 MET 2000) Success

Torun (K.Borkowski at Tue Feb 29 13:25:37 MET 2000) Minor failures

Observations between 9:15 and 9:31 UT are lost because of a power failure. Also the FS reported many times a "Head is moving" error.

Westerbork (Tony Foley at Tue Feb 29 14:55:06 MET 2000) Minor failures

Scans shorter than 40seconds (most scans of 3C345 after 09:15) skipped over as they are too short for the tied array to setup and start the observation; scans of 60seconds or more ran OK.

Onsala (A. Polatidis at Wed Mar 1 00:34:54 MET 2000) Minor failures

Started observing at 0830 UT, due to strong winds

Effelsberg (A. Kraus at Wed Mar 1 10:23:48 MET 2000) Minor failures

Between UT0755-0803 the antenna had to be stopped due to hardware problems.

Westerbork (Tony Foley at Wed Mar 1 13:33:33 MET 2000) Minor failures

Addendum: The IF distributor went crazy from 09:52 to 09:54; the attenuation was 20dB too low.

Jodrell (Alastair Gunn at Thu Mar 2 05:36:56 MET 2000) Success

No known problems.

Noto (fr005 at Thu Mar 2 12:09:45 MET 2000) Success
