[daip] WSRT Tsys correction

[M.A.W. Verheijen]

Dear Eric,

many thanks for your reply.  You may have missed the CLCAL inputs at the
very bottom in my previous email, included again below.  Indeed,
SOURCES, CALSOUR etc were not specified so I was a bit surprised that
the Tsys corrections for the non-calibrator sources did not show up in
the CL-2 table.  I remember that some tasks balk if they don't recognize
the source as a bonfide calibrator.  For SETJY this makes perfect sense,
of course.  The a main purpose of CLCAL is to interpolate solutions in
time, I could imagine that CLCAL does not know how to deal with non-cal
sources.  Anyway, we tried all kinds of permutations of
including/excluding sources in the SOURCES and CALSOUR lists, but so far
nothing has yielded the expected results. 

 Thanks again!

 Marc
