Alternating maximum scan lengths of 400 and 600 were used to get more Tigo scans. =========================================================== There are no observations for Kokee and Ny Alesund from 18:15 U.T. to 19:45 U.T. Kokee and Ny Alesund will participate in the intensive session during this period. =========================================================== First observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Hb Ho Kk Ma Ny Tc Wf 1324+224 10312-170000| 119 58 119 88| 2255-282 10312-170000| 43 43 | 0059+581 10312-170246| 74 43 74| =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Hb Ho Kk Ma Ny Tc Wf 1124-186 10313-163920| 579 206 178 579 340| 0119+115 10313-164015| 43 43 | 2215+150 10313-164204| 57 57 | 0529+483 10313-164558| 98 170 76 170| 0747+185 10313-164827| 303 175 303 | 0716+714 10313-164940| 63 63| 2229+695 10313-165141| 142 142| 0420-014 10313-165215| 43 43 | 1300+580 10313-165449| 114 114 110| 0332-403 10313-165605| 43 43 | 1144+402 10313-165719| 94 64 94| =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1456.skd for experiment R1456 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 7.3 Min = 0.0 Max = 58.2 (Baseline Hb-Wf on 0727-115) RMS = 13.6 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
