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) = 14.2 Min = .0 Max = 31.8 (Baseline 45-Hh on 1129-580) RMS = 7.7 Total time: 961 minutes ( 16.0 hours).
