[daip] PCCOR??

[Leonia Kogan]

Matt,

I have receved the fits file of  BL137B you sent me and converted it 
into AIPS.

As I understand you use the source 1226+023 as the calibrator and 
timerange is: 1/08:26:45-1/08:28:30.
Correct?

I ran PCCOR .  You can find the PCCOR inputs(+result) I used and PC 
table contents at the files:
BL137B.PCCOR.INP+RUN      BL137.PCTABLE
The files are under www.aoc.nrao.edu/~lkogan

Some comments:

1. There is no entry at the PC table for antennas: 1, 2,4,6,7,9 at all 
for the selected time interval 
(see the file BL137.PCTABLE)

2. PCCOR succesfully finished confirming statement 1

3. The PCCOR output can not be used anyway because 6 of 10 antennas are 
not corrected.

4. I do not know why the PC table is so bad

5. Try to reproduce my test result and then we'll move later.

LK

The PC table contents is not good
