2MTF III. HI 21cm observations of 1194 spiral galaxies with the Green
  Bank Telescope
  We present HI 21cm observations of 1194 galaxies out to a redshift of 10,000
km/s selected as inclined spirals (i>60deg) from the 2MASS Redshift Survey.
These observations were carried out at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory
Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). This observing program is part of
the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) survey. This project will combine HI widths from
these GBT observations with those from further dedicated observing at the
Parkes Telescope, from the ALFALFA survey at Arecibo, and S/N>10 and spectral
resolution, v_res < 10km/s published widths from a variety of telescopes. We
will use these HI widths along with 2MASS photometry to estimate Tully-Fisher
distances to nearby spirals and investigate the peculiar velocity field of the
local Universe. In this paper we report on detections of neutral hydrogen in
emission in 727 galaxies, and measure good signal-to-noise and symmetric HI
global profiles suitable for use in the Tully-Fisher relation in 484.
