Running it on the 16 pads listed by Al below yields a report on the baseline length statistics of: min/median/rms/max = 21.21 / 95.59 / 119.78 / 276.15 m For comparison, the statistics for the "nominal" Cycle 0 Compact configuration are: min/median/rms/max = 18.35 / 59.72 / 66.23 / 126.21 m Todd On 08/08/2012 07:33 PM, Scott Schnee wrote: > Hi all, > > Below (and attached) is some information from Al about the locations of antennas in the current observing period.
