NOTE:
1. UT times are hhhhUT, LT times are hh.mm LT. If there's a plus (+)
behind a time, then the experiment ends on the following day.
2. EISCAT radar runs are marked RUN. If followed by an exclamation mark
(!) then the run is definite. If marked by a question mark, the run
depends on suitable geophysical and weather conditions and will be
decided on short notice according to the regulations of EISCAT.
3. The Sodankylä VLF Group comprises in this case Tauno and Jyrki. The
group is expected to make their own arrangements for travelling and
using the scheduled experiments. SGO's Land Cruiser is reserved for the
VLF Group.
4. Vehicles: Bus 1 and 2 are Oulu University VWs; Passat is the SGO
Passat, LC is Thomas' car; MLbus: Markku Lehtinen's minibus.
5. Personnel listed by first names in order of occurrence: Kari Kaila,
Tero Raita, Thomas Ulich, Mikko Orispää, Ilkka Virtanen, Timo Pitkänen,
Antti Kero, and Markku Lehtinen.
6. Sweden (Björn G) will contribute 26 to 32 hours of EISCAT time for
the scheduled experiments DROP, HFSEE, AAKK (in that order of priority).
Note that HFSEE is only listed on the main EISCAT schedule page, because
it's somewhat outside the UK-Finland(+Sweden) campaign.
