Frequency Agility

The status of the EVN's frequency agility had not changed since the last meeting. A summary is provided in Appendix 6. Any changes in frequency flexibility should be sent by e-mail to mag@jb.man.ac.uk. It was hoped that the new WSRT frequency flexible front ends would be avialable before the Space VLBI missions flew. A. Orfei noted that some of the formal details in the table needed qualification. For example, most changes from prime to secondary focus required good weather, day light and man power. J. Ritakari noted that the new 43 GHz receiver at Metsahovi could be designed so that the change to 22 GHz could be made quickly. However there would have to be a good reason for doing so.
