Session Notes:
- Most of the experiments are with Radioastron and are only of short duration
- AuScope telescopes are not participating in this session.
- Please remember to stick a post-it note with the experiment name on the disks when you remove them!
- Most of the experiments don't have a fringe-check as Ceduna is the only station in the LBA being used.
