However, one of the SSOC tohban (Y.K.) found that the file 'SR0001.OPSEQ.INFILE' on SSOC#01 must be condensed. After the condense, the file transmission worked well. 4.3 False flare - A B1-class flare occurred during H-alpha/He10830 filament observation of SXT on Apr. 12, and then the SXT table was changed for the normal active region observation. However, the flare flag was triggered by an SAA event, not by the B1 flare. Please take care of the false flare flags. 5 DSN COMMUNICATIONS 5.1 We requested 3 additions, 2 deletions, and 1 shift of DSN passes for the week 16, but only the request of deletions and a shift was turned down. 5.2 The cancellation of the DSN pass on Apr. 17 was informed us after the operation on Apr. 15 (Friday). We could not take action this cancellation. 6 HIKITSUGI 6.1 Yohkoh/Asca Pass Conflicts In the week 15, there was no conflict between Yohkoh passes and Asca ones. Preparing the schedule of the week 16, we found one hour or more clearance between Yohkoh's 5th pass and Asca's 1st pass. Therefore we had no conflict at all, but the next tohbans have to take care of the relation between Yohkoh passes and Asca passes and have to negotiate with Asca people to make the schedule. 6.2 NASDA's schedule around the golden week was fixed. 6.3 There was no operation on Saturday due to the repair of KSC 20m antenna as well as in the week 15. 6.4 The fax machine in the Asca operation room has frequently troubled. Most of the troubles were due to paper jam. 6.5 Tohbans for W16 (Apr 18-24): SSOC: Watari and Alexander KSC: Masuda and Hara
