    • If the CIMA log does not appear when you click on its link, it is probably too big for the web server (e.g. because of all the WAPP power warnings due to a beam being down). If you need it, find it on disk in the appropriate location.

    11.11.25 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 6B dead. Beam 4A hot, noisy. FAA radar ON. 1380 harmonic present but fa int. TOGS at end. Uneventful.
    11.11.24 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 6B dead. Beam 4A hot, noisy. FAA radar ON. 1380 harmonic present but faint. TOGS at end. Uneventful.
    11.11.22 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 6B dead. FAA radar ON. TOGS at end. Uneventful.

    11.10.04 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar ON. Togs at beginning. Beam 6B power level >1.5.
    11.10.03 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beams 4A & 6B dead. FAA radar ON. Togs at beginning.
    11.10.02 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar OFF. Togs at beginning. Beam 6b died midway through the night.
    11.10.01 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar OFF. Togs at beginning.
    11.09.30 logfile cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar ON with 1380 harmonic. Togs at beginning. Extra 20 min at end.
    11.09.29 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar ON with 1380 harmonic. No TOGS. Late start because of WAPPS problems.
    11.09.28 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. FAA radar ON with 1380 harmonic. TOGS at start.
    11.09.27 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A is dead. FAA radar ON; 1380 harmonic evident. TOGS at start.
    11.09.26 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. TOGS at start. Fits 0007, WAPPS confused, WAPPS restarted & power adjusted. FAA Radar ON.
    11.09.25 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. TOGS at start (had to abort and restart). FAA Radar ON. Harmonic present.
    11.09.24 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. TOGS at start. FAA Radar ON. Saw Harmonic.
    11.09.23 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. TOGS at start (had to set files ourselves again). FAA Radar ON.
    11.09.20 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. TOGS at start. FAA Radar ON.

    11.09.18 log file cimalog fitsfiles Switched to an easier drift. FAA OFF. Beam 4A dead.
    11.09.17 log file cimalog fitsfiles Started late: ALFA rotation switch was off, otherwise uneventful. FAA OFF. Beam 4A dead.
    11.09.16 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. Quiet night. No RFI of note.
    11.09.15 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead. Bad RFI in first 3 fits files.
    11.09.12 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead; FAA radar OFF.
    11.09.11 log file cimalog fitsfiles Beam 4A dead; FAA radar OFF. Waterfall plots work
