Dear Amy,

Thank you very much for your kind advice.
I will use VLBAEOP for the EOP correction.

Yes, the experiment uses a phased array at 2cm and also at 1.3cm.
Just by judging from the header comments in the bc087bcal.y file, the
above GAIN/TSYS lines you suggested seems to be for single dish and
the later section regardless of wavelength seems for the phased array,
but which should I uncomment?
And if I should uncomment the first section named Single-antenna
project, what should I put for the blanked POLY value at 1.3cm?

As for the BAD TIME error message, I realized it occurred because I
was separating INDEX entry and TSYS entry by "/" which was written as
"Do not do" in the cookbook C.8.2.
I'm sorry I wasn't careful.  Now I don't have the error message.
But I'm still not sure about which GAIN/TSYS lines to uncomment, and I
would appreciate your advice.

Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,
Mayumi
