    At L-band, we find:

    13 A and C:  Apparent gain changes of +/- 10%. 

    14 A and C:  Gain changes of +/- 1%.  Very good stability.

    16 A, B, C, D:  Gain changes of +/- 1%.  Very good!  (And
in fact, B and D are more like 0.5%) 

    As at the other frequencies, only ~20% of the requested scans for
these antennas were actually observed, due to the problems mentioned
in earlier reports. 

    The VLA antenna amplitude stability is about +\- 0.5% over the
same 5-day period.
