We successfully moved the Ka-Band receiver (S/N 04) that was on Antenna
28 to Ant 24 this afternoon. It is alive and cold.
The Antenna Mechanics were hoping to align it to the sub-reflector and
install the turn-buckles before they left for the day (they had already
installed the Goretex radome yesterday). We'll check on the status
tomorrow morning and find out if we're good to go.
We also installed our Total Power measurement system on Ant 24 so we can
carry out efficiency measurements at Ka-Band (plus K & Q). We'll also do
similar measurements at C-Band once this antenna gets the upgraded
receiver with the wideband 4-8 GHz OMT (possibly next week or the week
after).
Ken, if you could update the default Tcal values for Ant 24 as given
below...
