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) 1424+366 68.7 1323+321 56.2 1328+254 57.0 1328+307 57.1 1354+196 63.6 1502+106 81.2 1538+149 88.8 1555+001 96.7 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.
