Dick,

Attached please find the operations log for the MEX Bistatic Radar
(BSR) experiment that was conducted over DSS-14 on 18 October (DOY
291). Good echoes were returned for this experiment on all channels.

Station support was nominal except the SRCP noise diode may have "stuck" in
 the ON position at the end of mini-cal #1. We were suspicious after step 3
 based on the ADC value and queried the operator who confirmed that it was
indeed still on. After we asked again to turn off the diode, the operator
reported it off at 11:26:29, but the ADC value was not consistent with this
assumption. I suspect the diode may have stayed on in spite of the
operator's displays because the value returned to expected for the OFF
configuration in step 3 of mini-cal #2. In retrospect, I think we should
have asked them to reissue the enable command and then disable (though
there is no guarantee it would have worked), but we did not think of it
at the time.

- Danny & John

  Thanks for trying.  But the spreadsheet is wrapped into a winmail.dat
  file, which I can't read.  Could you send it again?

  REconfiguring to S-RCP, then disabling should have done the job.
  Simply reissuing the disable command doesn't work if the connection
  has been broken.  I'll let you know what the data look like.  This
  is not the worst thing that could have happened.
