General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
L-band 1 Gbps short e-VLBI run on 18 May 2011. Participating telescopes were Ef,Jb,Hh,Mc,On,Tr and Wb. Sh did not take part. On was winded off for most of the time. Bad RFI. Effelsberg used DBBC/Mark5B+ for the first time in an e-VLBI science run.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.54 . ERI* = 0.72 . (Ef=1, Jb1=1, Hh=1, Mc=1, On=0/1, Sh=0, Tr=1, Wb=1)

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Worst affected is IF2 by Iridium satellites.
Jb: Broad and strong RFI in IFs 5-6.
Tr: Strong RFI in IF7.

Comments.
Correlator down from ~16:35-20 UT and ~22-24 UT.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Mc: very much limited by RFI.
Tr: IF7-8 amplitudes low (see note on RFI above).

Comments.

TSYS against time
Comments.

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).
