COVER INFORMATION Station: HART (Code Hh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N14L1 Schedule Version: 2.00 Processed by SCHED version: 10.20 Release of about July 12, 2012 PI: Dmitry Duev Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596521 EMAIL: duev@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596521 Observing mode: Notes: 18cm NME for session 1/2014 512 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 8 MHz filters Send the disk pack by express to JIVE DBBC testing data from Mc and Tr are expected. COVER LETTER: Dear EVN friends, This is the schedule for the 18cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 26 February 2014, involving 16 antennas: Eb Wb Jb1 On25 Mc Nt Tr Ys Sv Zc Bd Ur Sh Hh Sr T6 (Md, Td). The NME uses a standard setup with 512 Mbps and consists of long integrations on strong calibrators 0234+285 and 0528+134 as well as phase-referencing cycles with continuum sources as targets. Three ftp tests are scheduled: (1) 13:39:00 UT (scan 2, 2 sec, 0234+285) (2) 14:35:00 UT (scan 15, 2 sec, 0528+134) (3) 15:24:00 UT (scan 30, 2 sec, 0528+134) (4) 16:21:00 UT (scan 45, 2 sec, 0528+134) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Good luck with the session and see you on Skype!

SCHED provides warnings at individual scans for distances less than 10 degrees. The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) J0232+2628 66.9 0234+285 68.9 0528+134 104.9 J0539+1433 107.1 Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the longest VLBA baselines at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz. For common VLBI bands, this is: 327 MHz 117. deg 610 MHz 81. deg 1.6 GHz 45. deg 2.3 GHz 36. deg 5.0 GHz 23. deg 8.4 GHz 17. deg 15.0 GHz 12. deg 22.0 GHz 9. deg 43.0 GHz 6. deg
