Personnel Changes
-----------------
None.

Brief Report of Last EVN Session
--------------------------------
The September session has been recorded with MkIV formatter.
We noted a 1 s jump of the formatter time which could have
been due to the formatter (however a human factor is not
entirely excluded). All experiments of the session were
performed according to the schedule.

Logistics Problems Encountered Since Last TOG Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------
None.


Technical Problems Encountered Since Last TOG Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------

During the 3/00 session we had serious problems with the 
amplitude and phase calibration system. Also it was discovered 
that quality of data on our P&G recorder is sensitive not only 
to the thickness of tapes, but also to the tape speed (this 
problem emerged with speeds of 40"/s and required adjustment 
of tape tension for tape to wind evenly). It seems this recorder 
needs more attention.

On October 11th we experienced a crash of the helium compressor 
used for cooling of 6 and 5 cm band receivers. In practice it 
means the C band will be unavailable for at least a month.

As in the past, we have continued problems with the BBCs
(nonuniform passbands, instabilities).


Changes/Upgrades Made to Hardware/Software
------------------------------------------

The EFOS-15 Hydrogen maser has been moved to specially arranged 
room with climate control and installed on a separate foundation.
