Total number of scans in the schedule: 249

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern
Hemisphere by observing ICRF Defining and Candidate 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.

 Average number of obs. per baseline per source (normalized by up-time) =   2.1
 Min =    .0   Max =   13.5 (Baseline Kk-Pa on 2232-488)   RMS =   2.8

 Total time:       1442 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
