UHF radar observation (beata, field-aligned)
VHF radar observation (manda (v4), vertical)
----------------------------------------------------------

2012-11-13 (Tue) 21-06 LT (20-05 UT) (UHF and VHF) ( 9 hours)

(UHF)
Continued a previous run (with beata near FA direction)
20:00 UT pointdir 186.2 77.5
05:00 UT stopexp

(VHF)
19:50 UT runexp /kst/exp/manda/manda fm zenith SP
20:00 UT enablerec
05:00 UT stopexp

High geomagnetic activity and mostly clear sky at Tromso.
Data analysis of VHF radar cannot catch up with real-time, 
mainly due to heavy load of PCs.
