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.
