REMARKS

Remark on RXTE schedule:  The dates and times confirmed by RXTE are those ones till April 3rd. The remaining dates are still not confirmed by the RXTE shedulling team. The observing time per pointing is going to be 1.5ks, which will (hopefully) occur within the time (START-STOP) specified in the table.

Remark on Radio observations:  The UTC times, when available, are approximate, and could change by several hours. The observation schedule of Metsahovi and RATAN-600 will be available soon.

Remark on ARGO-YBJ observations:  The UTC START-STOP times correspond to the time window when Mrk501 is below 40 degrees zenith in the field of view of ARGO-YBJ.

Remark on Whipple/Veritas observations:  The schedule for the period starting on April 25th and beyond has not yet provided for Whipple. The VERITAS obs schedule will be available soon.

Other remarks:  There will be observations performed by INAOE (Mexico). NIR data will be taken on March the 25th or 26th, a low resolution spectrum on the next two or three days and optical photometry on the 30 or 31.
