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) =  13.1
 Min =    7.3  Max =   24.8 (Baseline Ft-Nt on 0920-397)   RMS =   3.4

 Total time:       1439 minutes (  24.0 hours).
