General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
L-band short e-VLBI run observed on 26 January 2011. The scheduled data rate was 1024 Mbps. Participating telescopes were Ef, Cm, Jb1, Hh, On, Mc, Sh, Tr, and Wb. Mc was limited to 896 Mbps, Sh to 256 Mbps, and Cm to 128 Mbps (Merlin).

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.61 . ERI* = 0.89 . (Ef=1, Cm=1, Jb1=0.75/1, Hh=1, On=1, Mc=1, Sh=1, Tr=0.75/1, Wb=0.5)

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Lots of RFI.
Jb1: strong RFI in IFs 5-6, mostly in LCP
Tr: strong RFI in IF7 (see notes below on low amp)

plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Jb1: L5-6 low amplitude (VC#5, LSB+USB)
Mc: If1 RFI filtered
Tr: IFs7-8 low amp/no fringe (BBC#7-8, LSB+USB)
Wb: USB subbands apparently had a wrong setup

The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel (not available)
Comments.

TSYS against time
Comments.

Cm/Jb1: used nominal Tsys (Jb noise cal dead).

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.

Fringe-fit phase solutions (including Parallactic Angle correction).
