I have fixed atlod - I changed the linear pols to be called V and H but of course ATNF still calls then X and Y so they were not recognized. Now either should work. Of course, the question remains what is the ATNF definition. Meerkat has that definition
backwards compared to the IAU. But we all think of the X axis as horizontal from our earliest algebra classes. That is why I changed to V and H in aips.</div>

<br>
I'm able to read the data into CASA and calibration seems to work as <br>

worth pursuing further.<br>
<br>
Thanks anyway.<br>
