Total number of observations (delay measurements): 393
Total number of scans in the schedule: 261

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) =   1.6
 Min =    .0   Max =   11.6 (Baseline Kb-Kk on 1806-458)   RMS =   2.3

 Total time:       1452 minutes ( 24.2 hours).
