Anomalies --------- The S-RCP maser was declared 'red' before the pass; the repairs and cool-down following the 'red' status on 2010/041 were unsuccessful. There was no backup, so no S-RCP data were collected. The S-LCP HEMT could have been reconfigured for S-RCP; but the geometry favored S-LCP echoes. There was strong X-Band interference just below the surface echo between about 09:54 and 10:04. It is stronger on X-RCP and 'splatter' may infringe on the echo for a short time. Danny Kahan suspects the signal source is another spacecraft.
