FTS Report on DOY 186

I.  The following are clock offsets, in microseconds between the clocks
at each DSN complex and each complex relative to UTC(NIST).  The offset
is a mean of readings using several GPS space vehicles in common view.

III.
Comments: * Values derived from linear least squares extrapolation or interpolation.

On DOY 167, it was discovered that the new FTS receivers have been incorrectly calibrated. The time offset could be off by up to 40 to 50 nanoseconds. 
$ SPC 10 receiver has been recalibrated remotely on DOY 176 (MJD 55372). The time offset was adjusted by 43 nanoseconds. 
SPC 40 and SPC 60 receiver will be recalibrated later.
@ Complex wide power outage at SPC 60 on DOY 176 (MJD 55372) caused a data loss of almost two days, all of MJD 55372 and most of MJD 55373. 
The receiver came back up at DOY 177/2314 UTC. Data for MJD 55372 was derived at using backward extrapolation from the next two days.

NOTES: All DSN data are from the new multichannel receivers.
SPC 10 and SPC 60 offsets are commonviewed with NIST and with each other.
SPC 40 offsets are all-in-viewed with NIST and with SPC 10.
