! BH127, VLBA, 128 MBPS, 1/2/4 cm, 6 x 6 HRS (DYNAMIC), HOUGH
!
! CENTERED ON 10 PIE TOWN LST, SO IT'S 7-13 PIE TOWN LST! 
!
! To be used for a total of SIX 6-hour Monitoring Sessions: 
!  BH127A, BH127B, BH127C, BH127D, BH127E, BH127F
!
!  ...SO YOU MAY COPY THIS FILE AND JUST CHANGE THE 'expt' 
!     AND 'expcode' TO "BH127B", "BH127C", etc.
!
! ***********************************************************************
!
! ALSO PLEASE NOTE THE RELAXED DYNAMIC CONSTRAINTS: 
!
!  (1) WE WOULD LIKE GOOD K-BAND WEATHER, OR AT LEAST GOOD U-BAND WEATHER, 
!      IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, BUT SOME OF THE MONITORING GOALS AT X-BAND CAN 
!      STILL BE MET EVEN IF THE WEATHER IS QUESTIONABLE AT THESE BANDS. SO 
!      WE WOULD CERTAINLY ACCEPT SCHEDULING UNDER VIRTUALLY ANY WEATHER 
!      CONDITIONS.
!
!  (2) WE CAN GET BY WITH AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF SEVEN STATIONS, AS LONG 
!      AS WE DO NOT LOSE THE ENTIRE TRIO OF SC, HN, AND MK. WE CAN STILL 
!      GET SOME USEFUL RESULTS WITH TWO OF THESE THREE MISSING, BUT NOT 
!      ALL THREE. 
!
!  (3) SWAPPING PT FOR A(N) (E)VLA ANTENNA IS FINE.

! 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.

!       Minimum number of stations [9 (6 for 3mm)]: 7
!       May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? yes
!    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.

! Weather constraints: none
