**Achievements in reporting period:**

During the reporting period (January 1st - September 25th) we have provided a total of 266 hours of e-MERLIN observations for TNA-enabled projects. These observations are associated with 6 original MERLIN and MERLIN+EVN projects. e-MERLIN is being commissioned during 2009 and 2010, and the observations reported here are in the original MERLIN bandwidth configuration but with new e-MERLIN receivers.

The TNA-enabled progammes are listed below:

||      EP065  ||	Megamaser ULIRGs  ||	 Perez-Torres  ||		25hrs ||
||      EW013  ||	OH masers in post-AGB stars ||	Wolak	||		15hrs||
||  	||	 ||	 ||       **Total**  266hrs|| 

Observations for all these projects have now been completed. 

During e-MERLIN commissioning proposals may only be submitted for Director's Discretionary Time. Future open proposal submission is planned to be re-introduced as e-MERLIN comes on line (around Q2 2010).

**Problems / Issues**
  * Issues - organisational, administrative or other problems foreseen
  * Red flags - major problems

**Forward Look**

  * e-MERLIN digital commissioning is going well, with fringes from 3 telescopes. Two further telescopes due on-line by November, and last telescope (Cambridge) around the end of the year. MERLIN observations are still being made in conjunction with commissioning, and shared-risk observations with e-MERLIN will start in early 2010.
