Total number of observations (delay measurements): 1864
Total number of scans in the schedule: 144

Purpose
=======
Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern
Hemisphere.

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) =   6.6
 Min =    0.0  Max =   24.0 (Baseline Hh-Ww on 0104-408)   RMS =   4.2

 Total time:       1439 minutes (  24.0 hours).
