Re: [xrt_co:02730] Re: xrt_co: - Whole Heliospheric Interval study - input for XRT obervations
Thanks Sakao-san!
Since these campaigns are both part of the WHI study, I don't think
there will be any conflict between them. I have sent your name to
the campaign organizers as a contact point for XRT.
Regards,
Kathy
