- The first observation coded FAST02 was a 24 hour run starting on December 16th. Four stations took part: Badary (Bv), Yebes (Yj), Wetzell (Wn) and Zelenchuskaya (Zv). Scans were tipically 20 seconds long. DBBC backends at Wn and Yj used DDC mode: 14 channels, 16 MHz each channel. recording rate was 2 Gbps. Frequency setup is the same as R1. Only one polarization. No correlation has been performed yet.
- The second observation coded FAST03 was a 6 hour starting on December 20th. Four stations took part: Badary (Bv), Yebes (Yj), Wetzell (Wn) and Zelenchuskaya (Zv). Scans were tipically 20 seconds long. PFB mode was used in this case: 7 contiguous 32 MHz channels in S band and 7 contiguous 32 MHz channels in X band, only one polarization. Recorded rate was 2 Gbps. No correlation yet.

Results from FAST02:
- Fringes to all stations found at S and X bands: Wn, Yj, Bv and Zv. LO difference of 0.99 MHz between Wn, Yj and Bv, Zv were solved at correlation.
- Correlation was done at Bonn and at Kvazar.
- Fringe plots Wn-Yj & Wn-Bv attached.
- SNR plots show that scans 20 seconds long yield a good SNR. An integration time of 10 seconds should still yield results with a good SNR. Plot from Bonn attached.
