Planned Intensive MWL Campaign on 3C279

Period:  January 19th to March 17th in 2009

  The Fermi/LAT team is organizing a multi-wavelength campaign  on the blazar (FSRQ) 3C279 starting at the end of January and finishing at the middle of March.
  We encourage observation in any energy bands from radio to TeV to cover the broad band SED.
