 +First try of scheduling and performing observations from Hobart26 as one-station experiment: (by David Schunck)

 +  * I rebuild a VEX file based on the observations from 2016 ([[wg7:​gnss_vlbi:​2016:​g336:​g336|g336]])
 +  * VieVS is only using the function "​degree2dms"​ from the Mapping Toolbox to reform //​declination//​ angles for the VEX file. This function was reimplemented as the toolbox was not available. Also, "​degree2hms"​ was implemented for the //right ascension// angle.
 +  * The VEX file needed to be adjusted significantely in order to run it. Guifre was a big help and Jamie, after some fiddeling around, was finally able to run it.
 +  * The first observation was scheduled on 23/04/2021. Unfortunately,​ I made a mistake when using the results of my reimplemented matlab function to write it in the VEX file. A "​-"​ was missing for the  negative declination angles which ran the telescope into its limits.
