Session Notes:

  • Hobart observers must operate Ceduna (with disk change/setup change assistance from Bev)
  • Please remember to stick a post-it note with the experiment name on the disks when you remove them!
  • Don't forget to update the ATNF wiki for each experiment. Bare minimum is frequencies, DAS profile and disks. Add any other relevant information. (See past entries for reference.)
