    Station Code Fringes Plots Comments
    Ef   yes, 3mm No0128 50s SNR~200 Ef-On    
    Nn   yes    
    On   yes, 3mm No0128 50s SNR~200 Ef-On    
    Mh   yes, 3mm No0048 100s SNR~15 Mh-On    
    Ys   yes, 3mm No0209 30s SNR~90 On-Ys   most scans linear pol
    Pv   no    
    Gl   no   no fringes with setup of GMVA 2021, nor with alternate setups
    Kt   yes, 3mm No0030 50s SNR~250 Kt-Ky, no Ku fringe    
    Ky   yes, 3mm No0030 50s SNR~250 Kt-Ky    
    Ku   yes, 3mm No0159 20s SNR~200 Ku-Ky   most of track no Ku fringes,
    only during No0155-No0181
    VLBA   yes, intra VLBA and to Nn Ef    
    VLBA_OV   yes   unexpected fringes despite observing log noting rx warm and several maintenance outages while working on the cryo
    VLBA_NL   no   unexpected, no fringes yet no issues noted in observing log; in some sense the opposite of the case of OV
    VLBA_PT   no   expected, observing log indicates Pt had major hardware failures
    Mp   yes, 3mm No0235 Mp-Kt   linear pol at Mp - PolConvert!
    ATCA   yes, 3mm No0235, At-Mp (circ x lin), At-Kt   No0235 ATCA refant W45
    KVN-EU-VLBA-Aus   yes, arrays tied using Nn Kp Ky At    
    ...        
             
             

    Notes

    • PV joined late due to bad weather. The first scans were bad due to a setup problem. First good scan is 091-1415 No0265. Looks like the 3rd-last scan for PV, i.e. PV lost for most of this track.
    • YS had technical problems in the beginning of c221a which were fixed after 091-0800 No0179. Missing quarter waves plates were inserted later. First good scan is 091-1415 No0267, the 3rd-last scan for YS.
    • KU no fringes for the most part except No0155-No0181
    • Mopra is linear polarized (PolConvert!) and had a different recording setup than scheduled, 2 x 2048 MHz at 85244.0 MHz USB.
    • Mopra 20 scans of data lost at MPIfR due to VDIF conversion running while BeeGFS migration was ongoing, unfortunately no back on transfer server
    • Atca had a non-standard setup, most likely 4 x 64 MHz USB at 86012.0 MHz and 86076.0 MHz
    • AT had fringes AT-MP in realtime monitoring at 12:00:02 UT albeit low-SNR(?) and likely polswapped,

    • GLT produced no fringes in +-256 usec for standard VEX frequency setup as in C211A, no observer log
