[daip] Antenna problem for exp. code BL214A

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Dear Rico,

What exactly was the problem with these scans?  I am also confused how the 
problem could only effect 2 scans but at 3 frequencies.

During these two scans the VLBA was observing the target source (J1555+1111). However, there are no problem for the intermediate 7th scan, while the calibrator J1310+3220 was observed.
