Description:
    Table2 presents the results of HI observations of 78 'nearby dwarf
    galaxies' from Karachentseva et al. (1999A&AS..135..221K) obtained
    with the 100-m radio telescope at Effelsberg. This survey covers an
    area limited by R.A.[14h,23h30] and Dec[-20d,+60d] including the
    nearest cosmic void : R.A.[18h38m], Dec[+18d], V_0_<1500km/s.

Note (1): Individual notes:
    KKR 3 = KK 230 (e.g. Huchtmeier et al., 2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/141/469>)
    KKR 40: UGC 11111 (at 3.3') and UGC 11113 (at 3.8') with similar
     radial velocities
    KKR 55, KKR 56, KKR 59 are possible companions of NGC 6946
    KKR 69 within 4.1 arcmin from KKR 68, confused
Note (2): 'kinematic' distances have been derived via corrected radial
    velocities assuming a Hubble constant of 75km/s/Mpc.
