    The Subarray must be specified and 0 is replaced inside the code
with 1.

It would appear that antenna 1 was not observed in this subarray, or
that all solutions to antenna 1 failed.  Antenna 2 was used as the
reference antenna instead - a perfectly acceptable solution.  What
appears less desirable is that > 1/2 of all solutions failed.

I do not know what other adverb sets you have used.  I am a great
believer in using the defaults for things initially and for asking for
all diagnostic printout I can get when things are not going well.

Perhaps others in the group (who know VLBI better than me) have other
suggestions.
