Good Day Pat,

I have restarted EVLA Antennas (14 and 16) 8 times now, and some things
have come up with these antennas, the VLA antennas and the times.

Observation #1- The closer I command sysptgx-part.evla to the second of
observation, the longer that it fringes and stays on track. There is
some sort of 6 second delay between the time you push "submit",and the
time that it's queued, and then it is "Active".

I tried several before and several after and 2 that were accurate to the
   second.

The ones that let me submit (with a six second delay) to the second
lasted the longest.

These two antennas do not with the same wrap that AOI says it does.

I tried McMonitor in a last dying effort, but to know avail.




for what it is worth,

Steve
