Abstract
VS04K1 & K2 files. K2 = 08:48 to 08:58 last 10 mins. No info for Kashima. Ceduna is flagged out in the data files, and the logs mention that the maser might be locked.

The source fitted matches the pre-launch and the 2cm survey.

Comments on Difmap processing
J0811+01 flux is 0.6 Jy, PLS was 1.3. J0530+13 flux was down alot from PLS.

Selfcalled on 1 min time scale as the fringe fit was poor.

Model fitted matches the 2cm structure, and the pre-launch. Flux is down c.f. pre-launch.
