Schedule ======== This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey using sked. Correlation =========== This experiment will be correlated at the WACO Correlator. Tapes should be shipped to Washington, DC as soon after the experiment as practical. Special procedures ================== Note: this experiment uses the Mk3 mode CDPSX-C-4. Note: NOTO is TAGALONG. Summary ======= The following listing is a summary of the observations in this schedule. Average number of obs. per baseline per source (normalized by up-time) = 26.5 Min = .0 Max = 48.5 (Baseline Ft-Nt on 1424-418) RMS = 12.5 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
