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) PG1244+026 144.4 J1250+0216 143.4 PG1416-129 117.9 J1420-1244 117.8 J1224+2122 149.3 J1430+1043 120.1 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.
