 The schedule files are written such that the same source is observed at the same sidereal time every day, so the actual schedule changes are NOT at the same UT every day and do not exactly match the IVS schedule. In order to facilitate smooth transition, each schedule must be modified well before its start to accommodate automatic start of the subsequent schedule. For that, a line must be added in the end:  The schedule files are written such that the same source is observed at the same sidereal time every day, so the actual schedule changes are NOT at the same UT every day and do not exactly match the IVS schedule.
