Oral presentation

The most recent continous VLBI campaign (CONT08) took place in August
2008. One of the scientific goals was to set up observations for determination of high precision EOP with a sub-daily resolution. 

Here, we present first results and a general quality assessment of CONT08. We demonstrate the effect of the modified scheduling procedure concerning e.g. (in-)consistency at session borders and compare the CONT08 spectra with results from CONT02 and CONT05.
