    • Disposition Letters. The plan is two send out the disposition letters around Noon EST on Wednesday, 12 November 2025. We will do this sequentially with the VLA (AmyMioduszewski), VLBA (RobertMinchin), and the GBT (ToneyMinter). DanaBalser will send letters to the external facilities for the joint proposals.
