Could the station VLBI friends consult the EVN Status table
(http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/EVN/EVNstatus.txt)

and provide updates on the characteristics of their telescopes please ?

In particular could they report any changes in the following points:


TABLE II

1) New receivers available

   A new 13cm single polarization (RCP) receiver system is installed at the prima focus in Seshan. 
   Freq 2000-2500 MHz SEFD not measured yet. 

   New C-band double polarization receiver system has used in EVN session 3/2004.

2) Changes or new measurements of the  SEFD (sysem noise in Jy)
   (for example we are missing information on Jodrell Bank Mark2 at
   90cm, Noto and Urumqi at 49cm, Metsahovi, please check the S/X entry)

3) Changes in polarization characteristics

    C-band now is with the double polarization.

4) Check and update if necessary the frequency range of each telescope at
   UHF band (30+ cm) (Footnote % in Table II)

   No.

5) Plans to built new receivers?

   The L-band refrigeration double polarization receiver system is building at ASTRON.

6) TABLE III: Frequency Agility

Please check and update the information on receiver agility

7) Table IIIA

 Check and update if necessary the frequency range at 21cm

 No.

8) Table IIIb

Please check and update the frequency range for 6.0/6.7 GHz. Values
indicated with (*) on that table are taken from the current (Sep 2004)
freq.dat table.
 
 No.
