ESR operation memorandam for November 28, 2000 (Tuesday) BY S. Nozawa

Experiment name: SS-520-2  (the 4th day)
Pulse scheme: tau0, 6.4 second, 32/42m
Position of the 32m dish: 
  1) Az=0, El=30 (pointing north) 
  2) Az=-45, El=30
  3) Az=-123.2, El=36.4
  4) Az=-125.2, El=34.3
  5) Az=-45, El=30

Start time: 05 UT
End time:11 UT

Before our experiment:  SP-UK-OPTI
After our experiment: SP-UK-OPTI

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: (time in UT)
05:00            START  with Az=0 and El=30
05:32            Changed the position to Az=-45 and El=30
06:34            Changed the position to Az=-123.2 and El=36.4
                      (This corresponds to lat=75.684 deg, lon=2.897 deg, alt=350 km.)
06:34            Changed the position to Az=-123.2 and El=36.4
                      (This corresponds to lat=75.684 deg, lon=2.897 deg, alt=350 km.)
08:06            Changed the position to Az=-125.2 and El=34.3
                      (This corresponds to lat=75.375, lon=2.511, alt=350 km.)
10:04            Changed the position to Az=-45 and El=30
11:00            END

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
No interruption!
Tx Power = about 970 kW.
High geomagnetical acitivity.
No rocket launching occured....
Still 'airport interlock' is broken.

PS:
We also runned SP-UK-OPTI (contact person: Betty Lanchester)  for 1 hour.
04:00           Start with Az=-24, El=30, tau0 6.4 sec, both 32/42 m used
                    Tx3 and TX4 were down.  We got low Tx power.
04:04            Solved the problem of Txs. We gets now 970-980 kW.
05:00            END
