Yebes station report
-----------------------------

We have moved all VLBI equipment from the 14m radiotelescope to the 40m 
radiotelescope building. Prior to the movement we checked our data acquisition 
rack (BBCs, IFs, formatter, decoder). During the tests the formatter suffered a fault 
and one whole board was broken. This prevented us from checking the rest of the 
system. Presently we do not have an operative VLBI sistem working and therefore we
look  forward to upgrade our Mark5A to Mark5B and buy one VSI board to convert
the Mark4 smapler into a Mark5B sampler.

The maser has not been affected by its relocation. Except for the time we moved the mase 
we have monitored it  continuously using the GPS for which now we use an 
optical fiber to connect it to its antenna (500 m away).

We have estimated the position of the 40m from the 14m coordinates using 
ortophotographs, level curves of the site and the drawings for the radiotelescope
tower.
