Subject: Supernanogan development Monday morning 

As noted, Keerthi was called to restart the source after a power bump. He continued Supernanogan development through the night (can you imagine?!?). He made some great progress. Here is a partial summary of his findings.

Actions taken: frequency scans across the entire range from 12-16GHz for each charge state of 18O.

For 18O4+, the "perfect" resonance occurred at 13.00GHz, with other resonances at 13.26, 13.54, 13.74... i.e. at about 26MHz intervals. The lowest resonance is the least noisy. However, if it trips, it is also impossible to restart it without playing with the RF. Based on Keerthi's instructions, I have written up a draft of an ION note for Operations, describing how to restart the Supernanogan source if it trips. I have asked the operators to critique the draft. The present RF state is attached below.
