Descripción:
The Wettzell RFI-Monitoring system was developed to monitor radio frequency interference at existingand potential VLBI sites. It is a transportable system which can be operated in a semi automated manner. It was usedat the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía in La Plata to investigate a future site for the Transportable IntegratedGeodetic Observatory (TIGO). With the help of an automated pedestal for the RFI-monitoring antenna a 24h/7dsurvey was conducted during September and October 2012. This data set is one of the most dense RFI-monitoringsamples known within the IVS. The results of this survey showed, that most of the present RFI signals occurssporadically and take away less than 5% of the observation time. Hence IAR is a suitable site for TIGO.
