 7-3. Offset Pointing
  The 8' east/west offpoint operations will not be done this week.

 7-3. Pass Sheet Format
  It has been requested that the KSC AOS should always be included
  in the comments column and that the antenna be placed in ( ) if
  the actual antenna does not agree with the AOS OG. The new
  version of op_first_guess will have this feature included.
  
8. Other Items
 8.1
  Magnetograms sent from Mitaka are all identical since Aug.11.
  The trouble was fixed on Nov.25.

 8.2
  Concerning the DSN schedule change, the English manual says
  that notice of deletions for the current week should be sent to JPL
  via FAX and RASM. The Japanese manual only says to use FAX.
  The current Japanese manual is older than the most up-to-date
  English manual, and should be updated according to the version up
  if the English manual.

 8.3
  Naive questions from a beginner SSOC tohban (TS):
  (1) Why cannot the dial-up to RASM be automated?
      [Lemen: This is in principle possible, and the original shell
       script used on DecStations performs automatic dial-up
       operation.  The same script does not work on Mips machines due to 
       unknown reasons.]
  (2) Why are FAX sheets printed for preliminary and strawman schedule
      changes, if only e-mails and RASM are used for those schedule changes?
      [Lemen: Those FAX sheets are for filing purposes, and might be
       actually useful when everything else fails.]
  (3) Why is the program opogedt compiled from the source every time?
      The compiled executable module might be stored on the disk.
      [T.Watanabe will tell this to T.Kosugi.]
