Medicina (Fiocchi Franco at Mon Jun 6 21:30:41 2005) Success :

Urumqi (zhanghua at Tue Jun 7 02:10:00 2005) Success :

Torun (K. Borkowski at Tue Jun 7 06:02:47 2005) Minor failures :

BBC3 continues unlocked. There were serious problems with DP MED-0020 (despite pre-cleaning with the SSErase the recording started from about 486000000000 byte!). Later FS lost communication with Mk5, so that from 16:52 to 17:00 UTC data were lost. An attempt to continue with this DP failed (problem with initializing of the XLROpen variable) so new DP used.

Onsala (Michael Lindqvist at Tue Jun 7 07:02:41 2005) Success :

Apart from RFI, no known problems.

Effelsberg (A. Kraus at Tue Jun 7 09:35:19 2005) Minor failures :

MK4 formatter failed catastrophically. Recorded 512MBit/sec on disk in VLBA format between ~UT1046-1250, ~UT1411-1450. Software problems forced change to tape, 256Mbis/sec, LCP only, from UT1615. Few scans were lost during an enforced tape change around UT 2000.

Effelsberg (A. Kraus at Tue Jun 7 09:35:20 2005) Minor failures :

Shanghai (Tao An at Tue Jun 7 14:23:05 2005) Minor failures :

we lost some data from UT 15:09:00 to UT 15:11:00 of scan No0066.

Westerbork (Tony Foley at Fri Jun 10 12:00:15 2005) Minor failures : RFI

Wb used in phased array mode. 12 telescopes in array (No RTC or RTD). Phase cal switched on by hand. Some bad RFI

Jodrell_Bank (Alastair Gunn at Thu Jun 16 10:38:35 2005) Success :

The Lovell Telescope was used. No known problems.

Cambridge (Alastair Gunn at Thu Jun 16 10:39:23 2005) Minor failures : ANT

Antenna developed mechanical fault in elevation drive around 13:00 UT. Intermittent drive problems until 17:34 UT when telescope was taken offline for repair. Fixed and back on source by 18:49 UT. No other known problems.
