The meeting resulted in a number of modifications to the timeline, which were made by Jack Campbell over the following week. It appears that the reception of the test equipment is the pacing item for beginning to work on the fiber-optic implementation. The power supplies being used in the new racks to be incorporated at the VLA and Pietown will reduce the supply of spare power supplies. A listing of spares is needed to determine whether more need to be acquired. The computer link between the VLA and Pietown, and the plans for the router upgrade, were discussed.
Investigation is under way.
There was some discussion of the required modification to the VLA L8 module in order to advance the timing of the VLA antennas relative to Pietown.
