COVER INFORMATION Station: HART (Code Hh ) Experiment: NME + FTP FT Exp. Code: N14C1 Schedule Version: 3.00 Processed by SCHED version: 11.00 Release of Feb. 15, 2013 PI: Ivan Agudo Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596-549 EMAIL: agudo@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596-549 Observing mode: Notes: 6cm NME + FTP FT for session 1/2014 512 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 8 MHz filters Participation from Sr (with DBBC), and Sh65 (TIANMA65 or T6) expected Additional DBBC testing data from Mc, Tr, and Ys is also expected. COVER LETTER: Dear EVN friends, This is the schedule for the 1.3cm FTP-FT on March 04 2014, involving 19 stations: Eb Wb Jb1 On25 Mc Nt Tr Sv Zc Bd Ir Ur Sh Hh Ys, as well as Md Td Yd (Mc Tr and Ys with DBBC) and Sh65. The session uses a standard setup with 512 Mbps and consists of three ftp fringe tests, interspersed with a longer set of phase referencing scans on 3C 84 (~25 Jy source at 5 GHz), and a weaker calibrator. The three ftp fringe-test scans, start at: (1) 14:07:30 UT (scan 2, 2 sec) (2) 14:57:20 UT (scan 20, 2 sec) (3) 16:52:50 UT (scan 62, 2 sec) See you on Skype group chat and Good luck with the session!
