Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 18cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 05 November 2009 involving 10 antennas: Cm Ef Wb Jb1 On Mc Nt Tr Ur Sh. The NME uses a standard setup and consists of long integrations on strong sources J1800+3848 and 2007+777 - the fringe finders - and a phase-referencing part with target J2254+1341 and a phase-reference source 3C454.3 (also a fringe-finder). Four ftp tests are scheduled: ~12:35 UT (scan 4, 8 sec, J1800+3848) ~13:37 UT (scan 10, 8 sec, 2007+777) ~15:20 UT (scan 34, 4 sec, 3C454.3) ~16:24 UT (scan 52, 4 sec, 3C454.3) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. !!! PCAL is OFF for this experiment !!! Good luck with the session! Yurii Schedule for SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Page 2 Network Monitoring Expt UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask. blank => Up.

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) J1800+3848 71.5 2007+777 103.5 3C454.3 125.2 J2254+1341 124.9 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.
