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) J1819+1543 127.2 J1815+1623 126.0 J1822+1800 126.4 J1816+1746 125.3 J1822+1613 127.5 J1822+1600 127.5 J1826+1831 126.8 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.
