Total number of observations (delay measurements): 2389
Total number of scans in the schedule: 209

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

Schedule
========
This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey using sked.

Correlation
===========
Tapes should be shipped to correlator as soon after the experiment
as practical.

Special procedures
==================
N/A

Summary
=======
