It would be nice if occasionally, say once per week -- a tape was run that

The tapes most likely don't have those frequency bands right now.

They only have the one, 2.5MHz wide, band.  I don't think there are
normally any Berkeley staff at Arecibo, who could change the loggers
data source.  (Class S@H would have problems because of the different
beam width.)

I wonder if the piggyback at arecibo would be able to record those?

S@H data is recorded using the SERENDIP receivers.  These have 40 2.5MHz
channels, covering 100MHz approximately (or exactly) centred on 1.42GHz.
The original plan was to cover 200MHz.

I don't believe the carriage house has any much higher frequency feeds.  I
think it is mainly used at 470MHz for targetted work (probably atmospheric).

On the original subject, I believe the problem has been addressed by
having BOINC load batches of work units.
