After the telescope collapse

  monitor the stability of the platform and azimuth sitting in the dish.

Tower 4  cable failures

Major events that impacted the telescope.

Telescope calibration:

    gain curves
    sefd curves
    system performance (all receivers)
    cal values
    focus curves
    system temperature
    multi frequency measurements
    temperature: platform,bowl,turret room, gain dependence
    stokes calibration
    arecibo technical memos
    miscellaneous
