each of the subsections of sections I-X should contain:
 . description of the technique, with references if available
 . how often the calibration observation(s) need(s) to be performed,
   and whether this is a function of frequency
 . how long it takes to do the calibration observation(s),
   and whether this is a function of frequency


the following folks are identified as being responsible for the
sections (helpers in parentheses):

I.    Butler (all)
II.   Guilloteau (Bacmann, Holdaway, Butler)
III.  Wootten (Holdaway, Richer/Hills)
IV.   Guilloteau (Bacmann)
V.    ??? (Butler or Holdaway?)
VI.   Mangum & Lucas
VII.  Conway (Butler)
VIII. ??? (Butler or Guilloteau?)
IX.   Butler (Carter, Mangum)
X.    Holdaway (Guilloteau, D'Addario)
XI.   Butler (all)

of course, each of the section leaders is at liberty to redefine
the subsections - i listed them above more to guide my own thinking
than as a strict description of what i think the subsectioning
should really be...
