[mmaimcal]ACA Phase Calibration

[Mark Holdaway]

And now for something completely different!



Here is a draft memo which argues:
---------------------------------

ACA baselines are so short that you don't need phase calibration.

The Weather is so unpredictable that the ACA needs dynamic scheduling.

Fast switching won't help the ACA.

WVR could help increase the efficiency of the ACA.


BUT:  
====


If the ACA is going to get correlated with ALMA,
the ACA antennas absolutely need fast switching and WVR.



OK, after you read the fortune cookie version above, 
go ahead and DELETE this 175 kb PS file from your inbox!
