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.)
