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

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

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

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

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) =  11.7
 Min =    0.0  Max =   96.0 (Baseline Ft-T6 on 1406-076)   RMS =  10.1

 Total time:       1446 minutes (  24.1 hours).
