On 2011.02.24 experiment has been correlated in Bonn using DiFX software correlator. Experiment can be considered as partially successful. Fringes were detected at X and S-bands. However, the scheduled was extremely unfavorable for position determination of WARK12M. Station WARK12M was schedule in a tag-alone mode. That means the schedule was prepared for the network without WARK12M, and then WARK12M was added to observations of those sources which were above the horizon. Since the closest station of the network was in 6.7 thousands km from New Zealand, very few sources had a common visibility zone. Of 39 observations scheduled fringes were detected at 22 observations.

The formal uncertainties are a factor of 2—5 greater than
in the L-band astrometry experiment, although the systematic
errors are presumably less.
