Summary of Phone Meeting of June 2, 1998

Attending: Mundy, Scott, Scoville, Shepherd, Sutton, Wright

1. Ed Sutton is replacing Lew Snyder in this group.

2. Configurations for ~16 element arrays were broadly discussed.
   All agreed that the star-configurations of July 97 were 
   acceptable.

3. Configurations for 8-element arrays were broadly discussed.
   Alternative configuration patterns included Tees, Ys, Stars,
   and Circles. The T was not considered highly desirable by
   most. Mel argued strongly that more arms were better for
   getting good coverage over short hour angles. Nick argued
   that circles would not give you a good range of radial positions
   with a limited number of antennas. Nick was less concerned about
   uv coverages over limited hour angles and was interested in the
   coverages from Y-arrays. Generally Y's and Stars were considered 
   the preferred patterns to pursue.

4. Our goal of the array designs are to achieve target resolutions
   of 4.5", 2", and 1" at nu=100 GHz with 3 different independent
   configurations.

Action Items:
=============

1. Lee is looking into 8-element T-arrays as the "standards" for traditional
   uv coverages and beams, and looking into 8-element star arrays. 
   The goal is to have results by early next week.

2. Debra is looking into 8-element Y-arrays. The goal is to have results 
   for the Y-arrays by June 11. First priority is to look into Ys which are
   just three arms of the star pattern. Second priority is to look into
   changing the opening angle of the legs of the Y.

3. Steve and Debra will check if the A-array antenna locations as currently 
   listed on the web-page are correct and email Lee corrections. 

4. Debra and Lee will coordinate Star-Y configuration efforts on June 9.
