   We propose ASCA observations of A3827 & A3532 to complete a ROSAT+ASCA
   study of a flux-limited sample of 15 clusters. This sample will form
   the foundation of an extensive Sunyaev-Zel'dovich survey of low
   redshift clusters using the new 2m Viper telescope. Viper is ideal for
   these observations, since it is stationed at the South Pole (the driest
   site in the world), has a wide frequency range (45-350 GHz) and a beam
   throw of 2 degrees. Low redshift SZ studies have several advantages
   over higher redshift work e.g. more detailed cluster X-ray maps and
   easier optical and radio follow-up. Using Viper SZ maps of
   unprecedented accuracy and detail, together with high quality X-ray
   data, we will be able to measure the Hubble Constant in the nearby
   universe.
