Here is another update on the LOFAR-Chilbolton HBA antenna installation. Today's work is marked in violet.
The current status is:
-- 13 tiles were installed on Friday 2nd (red)
-- 14 tiles were installed on Monday 5th (orange)
-- 18 tiles were installed on Tuesday 6th (yellow)
-- 8 tiles were installed on Wednesday 7th (light green)
-- 10 tiles were installed on Thursday 8th (dark green)
-- 8 tiles were installed on Friday 9th (light blue)
-- 11 tiles were installed on Monday 12th (dark blue)
-- 8 tiles were installed on Tuesday 13th (violet)
There are now 90 out of 97 complete in the field. Today work also started on the installation of the RF electronics in the RF container. The sub-rack assemblies have now been put in and cable work is underway. Things are *very* messy at the moment owing to the muddy conditions.
