The NRAO now operates 37 ``synthesis array elements'', broken into a 27-element sub-array (the VLA) and a 10-element sub-array (the VLBA), with only one provision for cross-linking them (using one antenna or the whole VLA in its phased-array mode for VLBI). Much could be gained by allowing individual elements of the VLA, the new antennas proposed for the A+ configuration, and the inner elements of the VLBA, to join in observations with either array.
