Cover letter ! coverlet / Any text can be written here. It will be written to the summary file and the operator schedules. This would be a good place to put complicated instructions that cannot fit in the notes above. This is mainly useful for stations where some items have to be controlled by hand (pcal, tsys measurements, special frequencies or wiring etc). For the fully automated stations like the VLBA, the operators don't tend to read any such notes. endcover / ! ! begin correlator ! correl = 'Socorro' ! !
