Total number of observations (delay measurements): 453
Total number of scans in the schedule: 206

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern
Hemisphere.

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) =   2.5
 Min =    .0   Max =   14.8 (Baseline Ho-Kk on 0306+102)   RMS =   2.8
