Purpose
=======
The project is the first implementation of a second INTENSIVE-observation routine to improve UT1-determination.
The project started with regular observations each Saturday on April 12th 2003.
With its regular experiments it will be both independent control and
reasonable complement to the existing observation routine using baseline Wz-Kk.

Since August 2004 the Wz-Ts series is augmented by regular observations on Sundays.
Starting on May 21st, 2005 all sessions are carried out as eVLBI sessions.

Schedule
========
The schedule was produced by Dieter Ullrich using a mixture of the automatic and the manual mode
of sked version 2007Jan05 under linux.
The minimum scan duration was fixed to 40 sec (before August 04 it was fixed to 120 sec).
The minimum SNR on all baselines is 25 at X band and 20 at S band.
