! Overall project: BF075
! Phase-ref multi-epoch multi-freq VLBA obs of jets in composite nuclei 
! dynamically scheduled for :
! 3 sources 
! 2 runs per source x 8hrs per run
! in 3 epochs of 16 hours each separated by 4 months
! All dynamic scheduling, centered at PieTown LST 1500 
! May 4, 2004. MEF, modified PDB/NN Jul04
! modified MEF Nov05

! this script bf075b.key is for: NGC5866 and NGC5846 (18,13,6,2cm), 
! to be run twice. accompanying script bf075a.key is for NGC5354.
! first epoch
!
! VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: bf075a.key (NGC5354) and bf075b.key 
! (NGC5846,NGC5866) are to be run twice and these files 
! copied and run again (twice) for all 3 epochs separated by 4 months!

! ================================================================
!   Preferred Dynamic Constraints.  Alter [defaults] as desired.
! ================================================================
! Equipment constraints:
!    Stations.  Below each station code, the "o" indicates an
!       [optional] station that is to be used if it is available.
!       Change "o" to "r" if the station is required or change
!       "o" to "n" if the station is not to be used.
!           SC  HN  NL  FD  LA  PT  KP  OV  BR  MK
!           r   r   r   r   r   r   r   r   r   r
!       Minimum number of stations [9 (6 for 3mm)]: 10
!       May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? [yes] NO
!          Consult http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~lsjouwer/y1gotcha.html
!          to decide.  If you adopt the default, then both PT and
!          VLA1 must be in the stations list in the keyin file.
!    Bands and polarizations.  Below each band code, insert "R" 
!       if the righthand polarization is to be used, "L" if the
!       lefthand polarization is to be used, "d" if dual 
!       polarizations are to be used, or "o" if the band is in
!       your setups but scheduling should not be constrained by
!       its availability.
!           90cm  50cm  20cm  13cm  6cm  4cm  2cm  1cm  7mm  3mm
!                               R    L         L
! 18 cm may be swapped by 20 cm
!
! Weather constraints:
!    [appropriate for bands marked "L", "R", or "d" above
!     and for at least the minimum number of stations]
!
! reasonably good weather conditions
!
! Date constraints:
!    Preferred date(s), usually a series start [none]:
!    Excluded dates plus reason [none]:
!    Preferred interval between segments in days [none]:
!    Special conditions (e.g., a series with different
!       spacings in time) [none]:
