Be prepared to specify a good contact time and phone number or email address, a phone number or email where you can be reached during the observing night and times of twilight or of target acquisition. We would also like a listing of full names and affiliations of people involved at your site/institute with this WET run.

Data Submission
There are two ways to send your data and logs at the end of each night.
(Note that this has
changed from the previous site of wet.physics.iastate.edu!)
The username for the FTP site is
wetftp, and the password is available through email. This is not an
anonymous FTP transfer, so you will need the password to upload your data.
If you use the FTP option, load your data into the "wet/incoming/xcov20/"
directory.
We will be reducing the data as fast as they come in, and we'll
contact you promptly if we have any questions about, or problems with, the
data you send.
In case the IITAP mail/ftp servers go down, there is an emergency
email address for use in contacting the control center:
wholeearthtelescope@yahoo.com
World Wide Web
We have a WWW site set up for Xcov 20. It currently has all
finder charts, observing instructions, contact information, assigned
observing time, etc. During the run, we will keep it updated with
the latest results and thoughts on the data. It will also have a discussion
page where all can contribute to a discussion about the run. We would
welcome your comments on how to improve the usefulness of the WWW site.
Send comments to wetmaster.
