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) = 3.4 Min = .0 Max = 12.7 (Baseline 45-Ho on 1111+149) RMS = 3.2 Total time: 1436 minutes ( 23.9 hours).
