AR570 using EVLA antennas
Monday 6feb06 1705-1905 IAT (roughly 10am-noon local time)
* Requested all available EVLA antennas; received only ant. 16, at 17:37 IAT
(i.e. a half-hour in)
* Ant. 16 stowed to reset DTS 17:50-18:05 IAT
* Results
L band, pre-reset : no fringes
C band, post-reset: no fringes
X band, post-reset: nice fringes
...raw weights are factor 2-3 higher than for other antennas, with
reasonable variation (compared to VLA antennas) within a scan
...Tsys are a factor two lower than for other antennas, and are
absolutely steady (no variation at all) within a scan
...raw amp. is only slightly higher than for other antennas, i.e.,
a difference in apparent gain does not explain the much higher weights
Q band, post-reset: no fringes
