The solar corona can cause unstable phases for sources too close to the Sun. 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) J0724+4159 34.3 J0728+4026 34.5 J1044+3656 72.2 J1122+3124 81.3 J0730+4049 35.0 J0927+3902 56.8 J1050+3430 74.1 J1130+3031 83.3 3C286 105.6 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.
