taken up) legalizing the alma quiet and coordination zones was issued
in Chile last week."
- Discussion Items - (Wootten,
Holdaway, Mangum)
- How
to tune ALMA. Larry has written a document that's intended to
explain the somewhat complex process of setting the LO system of ALMA
so as to observe
a
given sky frequency. In this document, he
merely works out a specific example in some detail. Before this
gets distributed, Larry would appreciate your checking the
statements
about your portion of the LO design for accuracy. Any other
comments you might have would also be welcome.
