Abstract
No fringes detected to J1218-4600. Ground fringes were seen on the fringe-finder, 1424-418, so no reason to expect GRT problems. 1424-418 was found to have a flux of 1.3 Jy on the Mopra-Hart baseline (160 Ml). |

From DQA it looks like delays might be very large if there are any fringes at all. A look at the ground baseline with POSSM suggests a non-detection. |
