Torun (K.Borkowski at Mon Nov 6 12:03:11 MET 2000) Success

No problems. The system temperature is higher since we used uncoolled receivers (however during the session they will be coolled).

Medicina (G.Maccaferri at Mon Nov 6 12:06:17 MET 2000) Minor failures

Due to an error of FS-9.4.14 producing snap file the tape was stopped just after it was started. I restart it immediately but with the default (wrong) speed, instead of 80ips. Then the whole first scan is done at 135ips. I have corrected the schedule, but the tape footage was desincronized with schedule indications untill first reverse pass.

Onsala (A. Polatidis at Mon Nov 6 15:26:57 MET 2000) Success

No problems with the observations. If it is possible, could you please check the recording in tracks 32 and 33 ?

Jodrell_Bank (Alastair Gunn at Mon Nov 6 15:56:10 MET 2000) Minor failures

Serious RFI as usual. Weather overcast and very wet. Pcal signal about 6 dB too high. Possibility that LO1 was wrongly set between about 10:06 and 10:12 and between 10:19 and 10:27 UT. No other known problems.
