The following is the list of station codes used in VLBA and Global Network scheduling as of Feb 1998. It is a copy of BarryClark's file. Note that normally only the two letter code is used for the scheduling process. This list clearly needs an update.
Suggested 2-letter Observatory codes
(Also indicated are telescope codes for multi-telescope observatories)
Codes are capitals in machine readable usage. The capital/lowercase
pairing below is used for readable concatenations on schedules, etc.
Table updated 96oct29.
