Total number of scans in the schedule: 190

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern
Hemisphere. There are 22 new sources; the remainder are ICRF Defining
or Candidate sources.

Schedule
========
This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey and Roopesh Ojha 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) =  19.1
 Min =  11.5   Max =   28.7 (Baseline Kk-Ti on 1929-457)   RMS =   4.1

 Total time:       1262 minutes ( 21.0 hours).
