General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
ES081A, C-band e-VLBI experiment on 2016 October 12 Participating telescopes were Effelsberg, Jodrell Bank, Onsala, Noto, Medicina, Torun, Westerbork, Yebes, Tianma, Irbene, and Hart.

The target Mrk1018 was phase-referenced to J0208-0047. The target Ark120 was phase-referenced to J0513+0100. The target Mrk110 was phase-referenced to J0932+5306. The target MCG6-30-15 was phase-referenced to J1325+3807.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 1.0 . ERI* = 1.0 . (Ef=1, Jb=1, On=1, Nt=1, Mc=1, Tr=1, Wb=0, Ys=1, Ir=1, Hh=1)

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Mc-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 1.5 minute plot-averaging was used.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Mc-* baselines, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.

The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel
Comments.

TSYS against time
Comments.
TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot.

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).
Comments.
Gain amplitude from CL2 table.

Fringe-fit phase solutions (including Parallactic Angle correction).
Comments.
CL3 station phase solutions -- CL3 = CL2+SN2, thus also includes the initial amplitude/parallactic angle calibration from CL2 and the fringe solutions from SN2.

Fringe-fit delay solutions
Comments.
SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each IF/pol on a separate plot.

Fringe-fit rate solutions
Comments.
SN2 station rate solutions.

Telescope bandpasses
Comments.
Bandpass table 1. J0339-0146, J0750+1231 and J1310+3220 were used for bandpass calibration.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against time (a priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Mc-* baselines, calibrated with CL3. The 1.5-min plot-averaging still applied.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Mc-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1. The amp and phase plots self-scale, not necessarily going down to 0 in the case of the amps.
