Dear GMVA PIs and VLBI Schedulers,


Please find below Version 3.0 of the Block Schedule for the coming
Global 3mm VLBI observation on 14 February, 2014.

Thomas Krichbaum will assist in making the observing schedule for the
observation, and PIs are asked to contact him, to specify to what
extent they wish to be involved in the schedule making for the part of
the schedule when their source(s) is (are) being observed.


===> PIs should contact him by 12 JANUARY.
                               **********


The final schedule for the session will be made available to the
observatories by 30th January, 2 weeks before the start of the
observation on 14th FEBRUARY.


Antennas
--------
The telescopes available in Europe are Pico Veleta, Effelsberg and Yebes.
The telescopes available at the VLBA are NL,FD,LA,PT,KP,BR,OV,MK. 


Recording mode
--------------
The Global project GA029 will be recorded at 2 Gbps using the PFB mode (RDBE/DBBC).

All observatories will record using MK5 disk systems, with correlation
at the Bonn DiFX software correlator.  MK5 disk availability, and VLBA
disk-change logistics will determine the fraction of the scheduled
time which can be spent recording data.  Walter Alef will make a final
decision on this when all the constraints have been considered.


Polarization
------------
All observations will use dual LHC+RHC polarization recording.


General considerations
----------------------
===> Please contact me (porcas@mpifr-bonn.mpg.de) IMMEDIATELY if you find
     any mistakes or problems with this version of the schedule.
