LBO: Walter, Peggy, Ephraim

Agenda:
  • VLBA Observations
    • November Daily Observation Report:
      • Early in the month, had poor rms
      • Pie Town resolved
      • Had one lost day due to MK FRM failure. This highlights the need for an alternate baseline (HN-OV)
      • G&H codes were common on observations (low fringe amplitude and p-cal amplitude)
        • USNO still determining whether this is due to RFI
        • There was no relation with elevation of sources
        • Chris has not noticed particular sources contributing to G & H codes. ACTION USNO to investigate this further.
        • Walter; Could be satellite based interference
    • Continuous Observations
      • NRAO: Observations are complete. First correlations have shown no problems.
    • November Post-Monthly Report Review:
      • A couple of corrections will be made and a version 2 will be released.
  • Open issues
    • C-band Testing
      • USNO update: Interested in exploring path forward with Goddard. Current CalcSOLVE is not ready for C-band and naming scheme needs to be coordinated with IVS (meeting next week).
      • Will determine additional testing in CY2018.
      • The observation showed MK had no p-cal present.
      • ACTION: NRAO to investigate T7311
    • SC Update
      • Internet is still non-operational
      • Commercial power was restored.
      • Once networking is restored, M&C data will determine overall health of antenna and immediate maintenance needs.
  • Next meeting on January 18th
