News from my point of view.
As an aid to planning for 2002 and beyond, here are the key project schedule milestones for the 3-way project that we discussed in Paris. The most visible milestone, delivery of the first production antenna to Chile, occurs one year later in the 3-way project than it did for the 2-way project plan.

Are we happy with this? Is the taper which is best for interferometry also going to be what we want for total power mode?
