Total number of observations (delay measurements): 615
Total number of scans in the schedule: 299

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF by observing ICRF
Candidate sources and less well observed ICRF Defining sources.

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
==================
None.

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