UHF operation memorandam for March 2 BY S. Nozawa
(Using Netscape might be in trouble on this
page.)
Experiment name: arc1
(normal arc1 with the field-aligned-position:(184.0,77.1, 292.9)
We will make an optical
campaign using high resolution aurora cameras and 4-wavelength photometer with
EISCAT UHF radar. We strongly hope to use the ARC mode (at field-aligned
position) with the UHF radar. Sweden will contribute 8hrs to this campaign.
Also Norway will contribute 16hrs. NI(18), SW(8), NO(16)
elan files:
arc1-u.elan, arc1-k.elan, arc-s.élan (just use arc1 series)
directory:
/kst/exp/arc1-u (arc-k, arc1-s )
Pulse scheme: arc1
Start time: 19:00 UT on
March 2, 2003
End time: 01:00 UT on
March 3, 2003
Participants: Satonori
Nozawa, Shuei Tomida, Hiroshi Miyaoka, and Maarten Blixt

18:43 Phoned Kiruna site, but no answer.
Phoned cell phone, then I got the person
on duty. He will be at the site
shortly.
No communication with kiruna.
19:00 START (enablerec;

Now kiruna works well. We can see signals
at Kiruna.
A problem of EROS caused the problem.
