Session notes for TIGO tqak01.

Prepared by John Gipson   NVI Inc/GSFC

This is one of a series of 5 sessions using the Hobart-Kokee-TIGO-Westford.
Each session is scheduled to run for 3 hours starting at 20:00 UT.
The purpose of these sessions is to get a fix on TIGO's position after 
the earthquake and to see if we can detect noticeable changes.  

The schedule was optimized to measure TIGOs position within the
network.
