Effelsberg station report ========================= >A dBBC and Mark5B have been installed in the Faraday room. Work is proceeding to provide all the signals necessary. Placing this in the Faraday room will avoid interference to other observations, caused for example by 10GE network equipment. >Final goal is to have both dBBC and NRAO VDBE . These will be connected to two Mark5C units via a 10GE switch. >Correct operation of the dBBC will be verified by zero-baseline tests against Mk4 or VLBA terminal. When these are completed , and Mk5A is no longer required, the Mk4 system can be decomissioned.
