Abstract
This is a-2 GRTs experiment. The first 6 hours of observation were not analysed since there had been only two observing telescopes. Nominal gain values were used for all antennas (See ANTAB.TXT). Kalyazin amplitudes have been scaled up by 2 based on previous data reduction experience and comparison with USNO VLBA observations. The amplitudes investigated by PROJPLOT indicated a well resolved N-S structure. Our image is in agreement with this, as well as the pre-launch survey at 5 GHz, and also with what is known from some X-band USNO VLBA observations (2002JAN16).
