This specific 3-hour interval was recommended by the GTG. (2) Nominal period for station amplitude calibration, as requested by the GMVA Technical Group (GTG). The actual period when amplitude calibration is performed can be chosen by each individual observatory. Antenna temperature measurement of a suitable planet or other primary flux calibrator is recommended. (3) Period for polarisation and additional calibration (4) Spectroscopic fringe test ====================================================================================================================== Contact email addresses for PIs ------------------------------ - MB016 BOCCARDI boccardi@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de MB018 BACZKO baczko@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de MG006 GOMEZ jlgomez@iaa.es MK016 KIM_JY jykim@kasi.re.kr MK017B KADLER matthias.kadler@astro.uni-wuerzburg.de MP002 PARASCHOS gparaschos@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de MS004 SAVOLAINEN tuomas.k.savolainen@aalto.fi CAL ROTTMANN hrottmann@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de LINECAL CREW gbc@haystack.mit.edu POLCAL KRICHBAUM tkrichbaum@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de ======================================================================================================================
