General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
L-band e-EVN run on 30 September 2009. The data rate was 512 Mbps. Participating telescopes were Ar, Ef, Cm(+Jb2+Kn), Jb1, Mc, On, Tr and Wb. Cambridge, Jodrell MarkII, and Knockin were limited to 128 Mbps (Merlin). The target was phase-referenced to J0137+3122. Because of the slewing limitations, the Lovell Telescope skipped every other reference scans. RFI caused some problems for most stations, especially in IFs7/8. Wb R3 had low amplitude, maybe due to RFI. Jb1 IFs 7-8 were partially filtered at the telescope for known strong RFI. Arecibo data rate was limited to 256 Mbps.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 1 . ERI* = 1 . (Ar=1, Cm=1 (Jb2=1,Kn=1), Jb1=1, Mc=1, Ef=1, On=1, Tr=1, Wb=1 )

Comments.
Some of the IFs are less stable in amplitude due to mostly RFI. In addition, high corrections are required for some of the Jb1 IFs, and for Cm and Kn IF4.
