Short spacing observations on the 30-meter telescope should be
directly requested on the interferometer proposal web form through
PMS. A separate proposal
for the 30-meter telescope is not required. The interferometer
proposal form contains a box, labeled ``Request for 30-meter short
spacings'' which should then be checked. The user will automatically
be prompted to fill in an additional paragraph in which the need for
short spacing data should be justified. It is essential to give here
all observational details, including size and type of map, rms noise,
spectral resolution, receiver, and time requested. The following
documents may help to prepare your short spacing observations:
