36. Comments (During Observations) :
01:45 : Started set up for 325MHz.
02:08 : Started scan on 3C147 for 12 min.
02:33:20 : Stopped scan and taken 7 min. scan on 0521-207(Phase cal.)
There was scintillation at the starting of observation.
Because of scintillation ,again taken 12 min scan 3C147.
03:00 : Started command file.
         '/odisk/gtac/cmd/nissim/0537-286.cmd'
06:44 : E05 ABC time-out.
08:02 : E06 ABC time-out.
09:32 : Stopped command file due to high wind.
10:00 : Stopped observation and observing session is over.
