[mmaimcal] ATF extended until September

[Al Wootten]

Hi Harvey

Yes, but we need to get an ALMA database ready to run when we get to the
S. Hemisphere.  We can't rely on others for long; the ATF already has
the SMA sensitivity and at 3mm where the SMA does not operate.  Also,
we are interested in calibrators which will be appropriate for ALMA but
are too weak for the current generation of interferometers to bother with.
It will be harder to get something going with the myriad distractions in Chile.
The OT will not go to a ragtag collection of interferometers to find out what to
observe; it needs its own database, which Ed and others are developing.

Clear skies,
Al
