v179/v181 schedules

Dear All,

Schedules for v179/v181 have been placed on:

ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/vlbi/v181

Sorry they are late. I'm yet to put any information on the wiki page but
will on Monday.

Please note that a single schedule has been used for v179/v181, since the
targets are similar and the setups are exactly the same for these two
proposals. The two experiments run for a total of 31.5 hours and total
just over 600 scans. ATCA and Mopra SCHED seemed to cope with this many
scans in a single schedule, as did DRUDG, so I guess this will be ok. If
this is not the case for your telescope, please let me know.

The telescope setups are exactly the same as for v168d from April last
year:

* v179/v181: wide-field imaging of nearby starburst galaxies at 2.3 GHz;
* Participating antennas ATCA, Mopra, Parkes, Hobart, Ceduna, Tid 70m;
* The centre frequency is 2268 MHz (2252 - 2268 MHz; 2268 - 2284 MHz);
* Both bands RCP;
* DAS profile vsop.pro (NO BUGGERY CABLE).
* Tid 70m to use S-band hempt

Note that RCP is being used (our standard 2.3 GHz, two IF, one Pol setup),
rather than the LCP listed in Jim's block schedule on the web. This means
that the polarisation for the prior fringe-check experiment, vt02d2, will
have to be changed from LCP to RCP (again, standard setup should be used).

The field system schedules for the ATCA, Mopra, and Parkes are in place,
the CAOBS schedule for the ATCA is in place, and the VLOBS schedule for
Mopra is in place.

The Parkes observing schedule is ready to pick up via ftp. Tidbinbilla,
Hobart and Ceduna will need to generate their own schedules from the VEX
file on the ftp site.

Any questions, please ask. Information on the wiki soon.

Cheers, Steven
