Clouds and rain in the last part of the project

Kashima (Y.Takahashi/L.Gurvits at Mon Jun 16 09:37:23 METDST 1997) Minor failures
The first Mk3 mode A test with the Kashima 34m telescope. Problems with the experiment log file after 16:09. No problem discovered before this time. Two tapes sent to Bonn on 16.06.97. T_sys around 400 K during the experiment. Wheather mostly fine, some clouds after 10:30.

Observed through very heavy rain! FS crashed, restarted for reverse pass 4 at 14:59 UT.

heavy rain

Metsahovi (Kaj Wiik, Ari Mujunen at Tue Jun 17 15:21:41 METDST 1997) Minor failures
Four BBCs unavailable, so had to run mode A with only 10 of them. After 09:10 rain started, it peaked at 09:20 at a rate of 53mm per hour! So it was not particularly disappointing to see our uVAX pointing computer to die at 09:40. It was cured by dusting the connectors, back in business at 10:19. Rest of the experiment was quite uneventful, only the weather remained cloudy.

Onsala (John Conway at Wed Jun 18 13:22:05 METDST 1997) Success
No known problems, weather fine

Noto (C.Trigilio at Thu Jun 19 12:09:59 METDST 1997) Minor failures
Some problems in the BBC08 setting (unlocked from 11:20 to 13:45). No other problems noted. Good weather.
