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 Sv, Kk and Tc stations on ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov. in the 
ivsmisc account in the E3_sessions directory. CGLBI Stations will  
find the files on their field systems.

Note that this schedule uses the SLP recording speed, tapes are changed 
every 6 hours.  4 Tapes sets are used at all stations.

CTVASTJ has lost S-Band due to very strong RFI and will not participate.
