Total number of observations (delay measurements): 422
Total number of scans in the schedule: 184

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern
Hemisphere.

Schedule
========
This is a new schedule generated by Cynthis Thomas and Dirk Behrend using sked.

Correlation
===========
This experiment will be correlated at the WACO Correlator. Media should
be shipped to Washington, DC  as soon after the experiment as practical.

Special procedures
==================
N/A

Summary
=======
The following listing is a summary of the observations in this schedule.
