Call for GBT Observing Proposals

Deadline: 3 June 2002


The next deadline for observing proposals for the GBT will be 3 June 2002.
This is an open call for all standard observing modes at frequencies
through 26.5 GHz.

Available observing modes include spectral line, continuum, pulsar, and
VLBI/VLBA.  Receivers include 290-920 MHz (PF1), 1.15-1.73 GHz (L),
1.73-2.60 (S), 3.95-5.85 (C), 8.0-10.1 (X), 12.0-15.4 (Ku), and 18.0-26.5
(K). Proposals requesting GBT participation in VLBA or global VLBI
observations should be submitted to the VLBA only, not to the GBT.  
Observations above 26.5 GHz will not be accepted for this deadline,
although we anticipate that proposals for the 40-50 GHz band will be
accepted at the October deadline.

All proposals must be submitted electronically using version 1.1 of the
NRAO Proposal Submission Tool (PST), which is available from the downloads
page.  If you have downloaded v1.1 previously, you need to download a new
version of the gbtDatan.xml file, which informs the PST of available
resources, start and end dates, etc., for each semester.  This is a simple
text file, which needs to be copied to the appropriate source location for
the PST to access.

Proposal receipt will be closed at 5 PM EDT on Monday, 3 June 2002. 

Questions about the proposal submission process may be addressed to Carl
Bignell (304-456-2165).  Technical questions about GBT hardware, software,
and observing modes may be addressed to Ron Maddalena (304-456-2207).
