In par- ticular, I believe that the frequency setups for the GBT and VLA will work as specified, notwithstanding the warnings issued by Sched. PLEASE BE SURE THAT THE LATEST VERSIONS (time tags: Apr 21, 14:32 MDT) ARE USED FOR THIS OBSERVATION at all stations: VLBA, VLA, GBT, and Effelsberg. -- The polarization has been changed from L,L,R,R to L,L,L,L in the four basebands. I discussed this with Dr. Nakai by e-mail overnight. -- The GBT 'firstlo' has been optimized in consulta- tion with Frank Ghigo. -- Effelsberg has been removed from the schedule af- ter 14:31 UT. Many hours had been scheduled at later times, but the sources were all below the horizon. Since this is a non-autoallocate stations, Sched did not remove those scans from the schedule. These un- necessary recordings led Sched to expect a tape change, and then to issue an error message that no time was allowed for it. -- The VLA has been removed from the schedule after 03:30 LST, when the allocated observing time ends. This only required truncating the very last scan. J. D. Romney
