Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 6cm NME on 18-19 March 2010 involving 11 antennas: Cm Ef Wb Jb1 On Mc Nt Tr Ys Ur Sh The NME uses a standard setup except that it is now 512 Mbps and consists of long integrations on strong sources 3C345, J1800+3848, OQ208 and a phase-referencing part with target NRAO512 and a phase-reference source 3C345. Since there is a separate ftp fringe test in this session (F10C1) no ftp tests are scheduled for this NME. !!! PCAL is OFF for this experiment !!! Good luck with the session!

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) OQ208 137.7 NRAO512 104.3 3C345 103.9 J1800+3848 89.0 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.
