! BL110 -- ``A search for ionized gas in the Galactic Warp'' ! **************Dynamic Schedule************************** ! Aim of the project BL110 is to search for ionized gas in the ! Galactic Warp by observing the scattering due to this gas. ! We plan to observe about 60 extragalactic sources ! in the region 100\deg \le l \le 105\deg and |b| < 10\deg ! at 22 cm. Sources are selected from NVSS with a flux cutoff ! of 100 mJy. Each source will be observed for about 15 mts. ! The key file BL110a.key consists of 4 sources which amounts ! to a total observing time of about 1 hr. ! expt = 'BL110 - VLBA fmt 22 cm' expcode = 'BL110g' version = 1 piname = 'T. J. W.
