The next deadline for the submission of observing proposals for
the IRAM 30 m telescope is March 5th, 1998, midnight (24 h). The observing
session will extend from May 15, 1998 to Nov. 15, 1998 and cover roughly the `summer'
period at Pico Veleta. We do not plan any bolometer session and only
proposals at 
mm using heterodyne receivers will be
considered. A maximum of about 3000 hours could be available for
scheduling which would allow to schedule some longer programs
(e.g. 90-150 h) with emphasis on 
3 mm observations.
However, the current planning foresees that the telescope is taken out
of operation for a period of about 2 months, for a complete
refurbishment of the receiver cabin, in which case less time will be
available. The Program Committee will be informed about the actual
situation at the time of proposal evaluation.
