! Sample High Sensitivity Array file. Based on BT069E. ! ! File BG168.key ! Has HSA=VLBA+VLA27+GBT+Effelsberg ! Arecibo is still in for repainting, so we don't have it available ! Schedule runs 1800-2215 as approved by Barry Clark ! VLA available from 1500-2000 VLA LST ! ! Phase-referenced continuum observing at 3.6cm ! ! J2025+3343 will be used for fringe finding and phase referencing ! J2025+3343 is 2.84 and 0.55 Jy on 400 and 5000km baselines at 3.6cm ! J2023+3153 will be used as a check source ! No amplitude check source or pol angle calibrator as the run is short ! and highly accurate fluxes are not crucial, given the lack of simultaneous ! multiwavelength coverage ! overwrite ! !
