[daip] Update Re: BR145AH (fwd)

[Walter Brisken]

Hi Daip,

Here is some follow-up to the ANTNAME feature of FITLD.  Sounds positive 
with one seeminyly low priority quirk as a result in POSSM (and by 
extrapolation, maybe other plotting tasks).  Presumably array name could 
be used to filter out this behaviour?

Dear Walter,

thanks. This seems to work fine, but I just noted that for example POSSM tries 
to plot data of antenna 'VLA:AN04' if there is no Antenna 4 in the data set. I 
can also copy a CL or AN table of a data set that has antenna 4 to a dataset 
where antenna 4 is missing (but then the antenna 4 will have no name).
