REMARKS

Remark on RXTE schedule:  The 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.
