Ionosphere: quiet, but active before the SP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007-12-10 2200 UT - 2007-12-11 0200 UT (4hours) UHF & VHF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## KST UHF observation ## (21:39 UT) rem ksu runexp /kst/exp/arc1/arc1 fm cp1 SP (22:00 UT) rem ksu enablerec (01:56 UT) rem ksu stopexp 01:58 ## VHF observation ## (21:42 UT) run /kst/exp/beata/beata.elan fm zenith NI The elevation of panel 1 was wrong due to strong wind, which angle was 90.1 deg. The engineer fixed manually. (22:00 UT) enablerec (01:56 UT) stopexp 01:58 Weather: cloudy and snowy. Ionosphere: active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007-12-11 2200 UT - 2007-12-12 0200 UT (4hours) UHF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## KST UHF observation ## (21:59 UT) rem ksu runexp /kst/exp/arc1/arc1 fm cp1 SP (22:01 UT) enablerec, kir enablerec, sod enablerec (01:58 UT) rem ksu stopexp Weather: cloudy, snowy, and clear sky. Ionosphere: active. It was seen aurora during clear sky or behind clouds. In the morning during UK's SP (not our SP), pulsating auroras were found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007-12-14 2300 UT - 2007-12-15 0200 UT (3hours) UHF 2007-12-14 2200 UT - 2007-12-15 0200 UT (4hours) VHF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## KST UHF observation ## (23:01 UT) rem ksu runexp /kst/exp/arc1/arc1 fm cp1 SP (23:02 UT) rem ksu enablerec The displayed antenna direction at sod was incorrect. rtg: Az was correct but El was incorrect (-0.5 deg). printant: Strange Az (correct one + ~11 deg) was displayed. The staff at sod found the antenna direction was actually correct, but the strange displays were not fixed. (01:59 UT) rem ksu stopexp 02:00 ## VHF observation ## The elevation of panel 1 was wrong due to strong wind, which angle was 89.9 deg. The engineer fixed manually. (21:50 UT) run /kst/exp/beata/beata.elan fm zenith NI (22:00 UT) enablerec (01:59 UT) stopexp Weather: cloudy and clear sky.
