The measurements were made in Feb. 1982 with the Parkes 64 m telescope using a corrugated waveguide horn with total half-power beam width of 15′, the first sidelobes being 19 dB down, resulting in an aperture efficiency ηA=0.53±0.007, a main beam efficiency of ηmb=0.80±0.005 and a ratio of source flux to antenna temperature of Γ=0.62±0.1 K/Jy (Murray, priv. comm.). A cooled two channel FET frontend used in the frequency switching mode with Δν = 2 MHz resulted in a system noise temperature at zenith of Tsyst = 40 K for one channel and Tsyst = 50 K for the other. Each frontend channel received a single polarization mode, and this radiation was then further analysed in a 2 × 512 channel autocorrelation spectrometer set at a channel separation of 3.906 KHz corresponding to a velocity resolution of V = 0.824 km s−1. Hanning smoothed this resulted in a σT = 0.05 K for the average of both polarization.
