   The recommended VSNET reporting format is what I have reformatted your
data in [vsnet-obs 14340], or that Gene Hanson, Lance Shaw, and VSOLJ
observers have been using.  (For previous regular observers, e.g. G. Poyner,
R. Stubbings, et al. we have written a conversion program, so they don't
need to change the present format.  New observers are recommended to use
the VSNET reporting format).

> If it is not already taken, I would like my observer code to be HZM.

   Okay, please add the code HZM at the end of each line of observation.
We can then safely extract your observations, and reflected to circulars,
WWW light curve viewers and browsers.

   No, you don't need to report a separate monthly report of the same data.
Nightly reports will suffice for our purposes.
