General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
L-band experiment observed on 2 November 2006. The data rate was 256 Mbps (8 X 8 MHz subbands, dual polarization, two-bit sampling). There were a number of target sources. 3C345 was fringe-finder, OQ208 and 3C286 were polarization calibrators.
There were 9 participating stations. The Lovell Telescope was parked due to high winds between 02:52 and 04:41 UT. Also, the telescope was not making source changes in time during zenith transits. The schedule consisted of a single scan, which caused disk changing difficulties at some stations. These losses were not due to technical faults at the telescopes, thus they were not taken into account in ERI*.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.93 . ERI* = 1.0 . (Jb1=0.87/*1.0, Wb=1.0, Ef=0.86/*1.0, On85=1.0, Mc=1.0, Tr=0.98, Sh=1.0, Ur=1.0, Nt=1.0)

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Onsala: occasional strong RFI in L2.
Medicina: permenent RFI in R4/L4.
Jodrell Bank: L3/R3 RFI near the end.

plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.
Sources had low elevation and were below horizon for some stations (especially Westerbork) at the beginning. They set for Shanghai before the end of the experiment.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
The abovementioned cases of RFI often leaking through.

Comments.

TSYS against time
Comments.
Based on TPI. There were no Tsys measurements taken during the experiment.

Telescope sensitivities from the a priori TSYS and Gain curves (the square of this number gives the antenna noise (SEFD) in Jy - the smaller the better).
