! CW001 example of 3C84 observations at 6 and 4 cm on the ! Pie Town link. ! Note that this is not the way PT link observations are ! usually scheduled - they are done through the VLA software. ! The Pie Town link is no longer available as of sometime in ! 2007. It will hopefully be reincarnated in fully digital ! form sometime in the next few years. ! ! Vex and format=none cannot be mixed. dovex=-1 overwrit ! ========================================================== ! ================= Cover Information ==================== ! ========================================================== version = 1 expt = 'Example: 3C84 6, and 4 cm' expcode = CE001 obstype = none ptlink norecord piname = 'Craig Walker' address1 = 'National Radio Astronomy Observatory' address2 = 'P.
