The E3 sessions are designed to measure EOPs in monthly sessions using the 
S2 VLBI system.  They help to densify EOP measurements and to monitor systemic
biases in observing programs.

************************************
Operators are reminded NOT to drudg S2 experiments at the station,
but rather use the snap(*.snp), listing(*.sum) and proc (*.prc) files 
provided for each stations on CDDISA.gsfc.nasa.gov

Note that this schedule uses the SLP recording speed, tapes are changed 
every 6 hours. 

Due to recent operational problems Yellowknife was included as a tagalong
station only.
