listed in VLBA calibrator survey and/or ICRF survey).

mystery source from VCS
----> done, looks like a decent calibrator

0119+321  check UV restriction at L band.  What is the '*' for?
----> done, looks like it should have been a 2kl UVMIN, not a '*'

Mark Holdaway's 90 GHz list.  Dig to lower flux levels (0.5 Jy?)

Observe Phil Gregory's variable sources to phil in good calibrators 
within the galactic plane.
---> found 6 good flat-spectrum calibrators > 0.3 Jy in the galactic plane

Campaign to eliminate code "T" sources like:
---> all obvious sources done.
---> a few more supplied for Jim Condon in late 99 and early 00 from
     discrepancies with NVSS

check the position for this source:
VLA: 2151+071 21 51 31.9971  07 09 26.465
NVSS:         21 51 31.44   +07 09 27.1                   
----> done.  Jim C. is right as usual

---->               21 51 31.4320 +07 09 26.8553 at 4cm

DONE: Adding in 72 JVAS sources stronger than 500 mJy above dec 0 

Observed but not yet reduced:
None
