Session E3055 Start 2006-249 18:00:00 SEP. 06 End 2006-250 17:47:42 SEP. 07 Stations 4 Yk YLOW7296 X Kk KOKEE K Sv SVETLOE S Tc TIGOCONC O The E3 sessions are designed to measure EOPs in monthly sessions using the S2 VLBI system. They help to densify EOP measurements and to monitor systemic biases in observing programs. ************************************ Operators are reminded NOT to drudg S2 experiments at the station, but rather use the snap(*.snp), listing(*.sum) and proc (*.prc) files provided for Sv, Kk and Tc stations on cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov. Note that this schedule uses the SLP recording speed, tapes are changed every 6 hours. 4 Tapes sets are used at all stations. CTVASTJ has lost S-Band due to very strong RFI and will not participate. ALGOPARK has suffered a failure in the Azimuth drive and cannot participate. ************************************ S2 Setups: ========== Make sure the DAS and RT are Synced and validated to UTC! === Mode: 32x4-2 Speed: SLP BarrelRoll: ON DAS: ==== Frequency Switching: ON, 1 Hz, 18 States "e3-ivs" AGC: ON Summary ======= Total time: 1429 minutes ( 23.8 hours).
