Hosted by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) scientific staff, this Splinter Session is designed to assist members of the astronomy community who are unfamiliar with radio-wavelength observing. This Session will provide practical advice and hands-on guidance regarding observing proposals and observation preparation for each of the four state-of-the-art NRAO telescopes: the international Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). This Session will feature an overview of on-going and new NRAO telescope and instrument capabilities, interactive walk-throughs for proposing to each facility and guided, hands-on tutorials of the proposal and observing preparation tools for each telescope.
