Session Notes:
- Jamie and Brett/Anita to be in Ceduna. Hobart observers need not operate Ceduna this time.
- Katherine and Yaragadee to participate in all S/X band experiments. AuScope experiment changeover and monitoring to be handled by Hobart observers (will be run from a VNC window on newsmerd). Documentation here
- 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.)
