Comment from Bill Petrachenko : "... the use of Kashima 34 in broadband mode on longer baselines has the potential to give some early information on the effect of source structure on broadband phase connection."

The 13.2m antenna stopped operations (VS observations with the S/X/Ka receiver) on January 8th and is under upgrade works: the backstructure is being covered with cladding and fans are being installed in between the backstructure and the cladding. The three band receiver cryostat is going to be updated with a new head, and a new compressor compatible with the broad boand receiver is beeing installed. All these works are expected to complete in February 18th.
