General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
Short L-band e-EVN run on 30 September 2009. The data rate was 512 Mbps. Participating telescopes were Ef, Cm(+Jb2+Kn), Mc, On, Tr and Wb. Cambridge, Jodrell MarkII, and Knockin were limited to 128 Mbps (Merlin). The target was phase-referenced to J0930+0034. RFI caused some problems for most stations, especially in IFs7/8. Wb R3 had low amplitude, maybe due to RFI. Jb1 could not take part because of urgent maintanance work.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.78 . ERI* = 0.78 . (Cm=1 (Jb2=1,Kn=1), Jb1=0, Mc=1, Ef=1, On=1, Tr=1, Wb=1 )

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