!!! Dynamic Scheduling Requests

! ================================================================
!   Preferred Dynamic Contraints.  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   o   o   o   o   o   o   r   r
!       Minimum number of stations [9 (6 for 3mm)]: 9
!       May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? [yes]: no
!          Consult http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~gtaylor/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
!                                        d
!
! Weather constraints:
!    [appropriate for bands marked "L", "R", or "d" above
!     and for at least the minimum number of stations]:
!    Phases must be relatively stable for phase referencing of
!    mJy target objects at X band.
! Date constraints:
!    Preferred date(s), usually a series start [none]: none
!    Excluded dates plus reason [none]: none
!    Preferred interval between segments in days [none]: none
!    Special conditions (e.g., a series with different
!       spacings in time) [none]: none

!!! Observations
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! Doing Phase Referencing for 8 GHZ (3.6 cm)
! Using 256 Mb/s to help phase referencing.
!
! Observing sequence is as follows:
! T AF T AF T
! where T=target, A=amplitude, and F=fringe
!
! For each target galaxy observed in a T, there is a sequence of phase
! calibrator, target, phase, target, ... , phase, check, target, phase,
! target, ....  The check source observations are roughly in the middle
! of the target sequence since the target observations are long.  Part
! of the plan of this deep integration on these mJy sources is to try
! to reduce the data in multiple ways to see if the results are similar.
! One of these ways will be to only use a few hours of data to do the 
! imaging and self-calibration, to verify to the TAC that mJy sources
! can indeed be observed *reliably* with only a few (or less) hours
! on source.  For this sequnce, I will need to take partial chunks of
! each of the three target sequences to reduce the total integration
! time to the proposed 0.5 hr level.
!
! Full observations should give better than
! Target	RMS(\mu Jy)	S/N	Phase Ref	Check
! NGC 5866	 65		 54	J1510+5702	J1507+5117
! assuming decent weather, electronics, etc.
!
! Observing at 256 Mb/s, will only spend  ~4/sqrt(2) min on Amplitude
! sources.   J1310+3220 > 1.5 Jy on all baselines,
! so this should be fine.
!
! Fringe finder source is being left at 240 s.
!
!
! We are continually doing 8 GHz, but for my convenience in using this
! file as a template for future observations, I will keep the redundant
! setup commands
!
! Target Set 1
! It's early, so only the first two sources are up.
