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) = 5.4 Min = 0.0 Max = 16.7 (Baseline Hh-Ke on 1101-536) RMS = 3.0 Total time: 1449 minutes ( 24.1 hours).
