Roster
Fringe check session: Make sure .prc and .snp files are available and correct before session starts. Pay attention to chat and RtFC results and troubleshoot as necessary. Main experiments after fringe check sessions always use the same frequency setup, so if something worked during the fringe check, be sure that you have it the same way for the following experiment. Fill out handover notes.
Receiver changes: Don't forget that Ceduna needs to be changed manually, so make sure to keep in touch with Bev (phone number on whiteboard).
Experiment start: Make sure .prc and .snp files are available and correct before experiment starts. Experiments usually have a short fringe check session at the start. Pay attention to chat and fringe check results and troubleshoot as necessary. Once there are fringes, don't change the setup. Fill out handover notes.
Experiment middle: Monitor the antennas and note down anything unusual in the handover notes.
Experiment end: Stow antennas if necessary and fill out handover notes.
