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) = 16.0 Min = 0.0 Max = 36.3 (Baseline Ho-Kb on 0524-460) RMS = 6.9 Total time: 1444 minutes ( 24.1 hours).
