... We need to replace this weight with tiedown tension to level the platform. ... When the dome (at high za) passes in front of a tiedown, this extra pretension will help not loose tension in the cable so soon. ... Kips/platformInch (no loss td tension) . ... The lower limit of the tiedown extension is around 2 inches so we might work to 3 inches. (17-3)/1.66*5=42 degF + 70 = 112 degF .. note this is the average height computation and does not include tension loss caused by the dome at high za. ...

... 2.3 Data acquisition Spectra generated by the Multibeam correlator contain the usual structure seen in spectra from other H i instruments: a bandpass spectrum which is the sum of the sky , ground and receiver temperatures multiplied by the product of the filters in the receiver chain; superimposed on this is a noise ... Note also that sources extended much beyond ,40 arcmin can be imaged poorly in HIPASS images because of the bandpass sidelobe effect described in Section 3.3. ...
