[daip] Antenna Issue

Dearest DAIP,

I had an issue recently when downloading a project from the archives,
specifically project AS0218 (5/31-6/1/85). I've downloaded the project
three times now and each time I load it into AIPS it doesn't seem to have
any antenna data. Is this an archival issue or perhaps something with AIPS?

Cheers,
Doug
