  The DSN Keyword Files for several recent BSRs have shown a station
  reconfiguration (usually fixing of the subreflector) followed by an
  occultation after LOS.  I have been ignoring these since there is
  presumably no downlink signal.  In addition, there is no uplink; so
  the occultation would not meet the MaRS requirements that occultation
  data be collected two-way.

  I have assumed that the 'occultation' lines in the DKF are some
  artifact of the DKF generation process and do not represent real
  occultation data collection activities.  If that is not the case,
  we need some clarification (and more evidence that there will be
  spacecraft signals to capture).

  I have discussed several of these experiments with Hannes.  The
  spacecraft HGA is nearly at Earth-point at 06:44 (LOS).  In this
  case, we have run the BSR almost to the occultation; but it is
  still a BSR activity.  We can conduct MINICAL #2 without needing
  the spacecraft signal; we lose the second spacecraft amplitude
  and frequency calibration (BCAL #2), but that is not important --
  especially if BCAL #1 was conducted correctly.

  The DKF includes a command for fixing the sub-reflector at
  06:28:59; we don't want that for BSR, but its importance is low
  if there's no simple way to override the instruction.  Otherwise,
  we should carry this out as BSR only (and we may get a one-way
  occultation free if the spacecraft transmits long enough).

Dick,

Attached please find the operations log for the MEX Bistatic Radar
(BSR) experiment that was conducted on 07 May (DOY 128) at DSS-43.
A complex-wide failure of the LAN (Local Area Network) at Canberra
(DR# C107373) resulted in the station being inaccessible until ap-
proximately 06:00 UTC.  Due to this problem only steps 1-5 and 14,
16, and 19 of the Pre-Cal procedure were performed.  And the first
Mini-Cal was skipped.  Echoes were seen and recorded from 06:08 to
06:44 -- i.e., about the last 40% of the scheduled BSR experiment.
There was also some uncertainty regarding the configuration of the
X-band LCP and RCP equipment (their ADC amplitudes were nearly the
same until Step #2 of the post experiment Mini-Cal.  Still, strong
X-band echoes were seen during the available time.
