Comment lines follow the same rules as FORTRAN. Note lines are identified by an N in column 1, the text area being columns 2 to 72. In the line printer listing the text of a Note line is printed in columns 75 to 124 and on the same line as the statement following the Note line. If the next line is also a Note, the text is printed in the same columns of an otherwise blank line. ... Eject lines are identified by an E in column 1, the text area being columns 7 to 72. ...

The SEFD (System Equivalent Flux Density), gain, and system temperature were measured at various frequencies using the lband wide (lbw) receiver on 14jul00 during the day.
