- Due to other responsibilities and power failures, the weeks have gone out of sync a bit.
This is not a problem. Any gaps in the data can be filled in later by scanning the relevant sections of the sky again.
- At the moment the dish cannot be driven (batteries?) - we hope to sort that out in the next week or two. The survey is put on hold until then.

At the beginning of this week, the working party checked the batteries. It looks like some will have to
be replaced. Due to high winds this week the dish had to be parked ("looking up") for a time for safety reasons. A power
failure also caused some loss of observing time. A check of the data will determine whether this declination has to be
scanned again later.
