    <p>If the R polarization data are in fact bad, then one flags RR,
      RL, and LR.  The delay solutions you show suggest that something
      has gone wrong with the R solutions and you should examine the RR
      data closely to see why rather than deleting all your polarization
      data and half of the rest.  In fact each R solution looks like the
      others which means that the delay correction (R(ant 1) - R(ant 2))
      would in fact be zero.  Something has simply gone wrong so there
      may be a much smaller amount of data which could be deleted to fix
      this problem - perhaps some channels affected by RFI?  POSSM or
      SPFLG would be good ways to look at the data to find this issue.</p>
