The NME uses a standard setup with 128 Mbps. The schedule consists of: - long integrations on strong calibrator, J0927+3902, for ftp-fringe tests; Four ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: 12:09:58 (scan 2, 2 sec, J0927+3902) 13:04:58 (scan 8, 2 sec, J0927+3902) 13:59:58 (scan 14, 2 sec, J0927+3902) 14:44:58 (scan 19, 2 sec, J0927+3902) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session!

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) J0927+3902 61.0 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.
