1. EA 14, 16, and 24 moved last week. Two baseline runs were
done on Saturday, and positions could be found for all EVLA
antennas including 17.
2. Residual phase changes with elevation are +_1 radian on
the older antennas 13,14,16, and even less on the newer
23, 24, 26, 17. (All at X band)
3. L352 round-trip meters appear to exist at 13,14,18 and two
more unidentified antennas.
mib-1-22 was working, but I dont know on which antenna.
mib-0-52 was logging at once/min instead of once/10s, and
its reading was unchanging.
The meter on EA14 now changes its response by 5 ps as the
elevation changes on that antenna, and seems to know when
the antenna goes over the top (EL >90). It is the only meter
doing this, it is a new phenomenon, and I noticed it first on
January 10th, i.e. it started before EA14 was moved.
From the monitor data archive, it was present Dec 6th. (I do
not have this monitor point in Oct-Nov). Was the fiber on
EA 14 'fixed' in some way before Dec 6th?
I don't know if the meter is telling the truth, but it seems
to show the diurnal temperature trend correctly.
Vivek.
