Purpose
=======
The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their
evolution in the southern part of the European geodetic VLBI network with the
highest precision possible.
Schedule
========
The schedule was optimized for local sky coverage. Scans are scheduled to have
scan length purely according to SNR limits.
The sky coverage for all stations were optimized.
The minimum SNR on all baselines is at X band and at S band set to 25.

Current yyyyddd: 2013079 (2013.22) ( 16372 MJD, WED. 20MAR.)
===========================================================
There are no observations for WETTZELL from 18:00 U.T.
to 19:40 U.T. due to the INTensive session.
There are no observation for ZELENCHK and BADARY from
079-19:00 to 21:00 and from 080-16:00 to 18:00, because
of domestic observations.
