4 Suggestions for action items

Contents of this section

1. Establish a way to convey antenna slewing speeds back to all scheduling software being used for astronomy and geodesy scheduling.
2. Investigate if it will be possible to correct the formulae of ``tpzero'' in the FS.
3. All friends: modify the station-specific Tsys SNAP procedures to result in two log lines, one for USB only and the other for LSB only.
4. Investigate if it will be possible to have ``drudg'' generate the Tsys procedures.
5. Determine the best way to implement ``tpi'' (and other SNAP) commands occurring at regular intervals during scans.
6. Document available MarkIII/IV patch alternatives (or perhaps only one) and their limitations (``low/high'' band). Make this available to the proposers and scheduling software.
7. Decide whether to add extra wires to VLBA samplers or to start developing standard procedures for running MarkIII modes B, C, and E with standard 8 BBC VLBA configuration.
