Algonquin is ready to run ca031.
We have had some problems with our maser. ( micro processor froze up and
we had some problems getting it running again.) My thanks to Don at
Allied for all his help.
When we got the maser going we had to adjuste the clocks so the maser
should be ok temp. wise in a couple of hours. we will continue to
monitor clocks.
SEFD's on 3c380 Az= 291.1 El = 61.9 X = 183.447 S = 243.410
3c147 Az= 33.7 El = 17.1 X = 222.001 S = 225.396
Formatter - GPS = -8.943 us. ( will monitor this value )
Weather is partly cloudy temp is -14.1, humid is 60.22%, pres is 975.1 mb
we have a good stiff breeze blowing.
Regards from the crew at ARO

Dear AC colleagues,
I've just been advised by our operational group that the ALGO HM clock developed
hardware problems today (Mar 10/98 Wk 0948/d02) and the clock was changing
rapidly so that it is not suitable to be used as a reference clock for
this day. They also assured me that the problem was (hopefully) corrected
today and should be OK for tomorrow's data.
Sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused.
Greetings
Jan

Subject: Algonquin and Westford Masers
Status: RO
The MASERs at Westford and Algonquin had problems with their
microprocessors before the start of their experiment today
(March 10). The Westford Maser's uproc was restarted with
the time being reset and no change to stability. When the
maser uproc at Algonquin froze, frequency control was
affected. Control was restored approximately 1.5 hours
before the start of the experiment, but there might be some
frequency instability at the beginning of the experiment.
The time was reset on both Masers. Except for the possible
frequency instability at Algonquin, these problems should
have very little effect on the Masers performance. We are
investigating the cause of these processor problems.
