Ant 13 was moved today and seems to have some strange problems. (See 
Ken's email)  The L305 was not happy after the move and had to be power 
cycled before it would lock up to the 512 MHz reference.  Once the 
receive level was set and everything re-sync'd, the hardware appeared to 
be functioning properly.  Both deformatter statistics and the Baseband 
overlay indicated good signal levels and connectivity.  The EDFA for the 
IF fiber was disabled at this time and the fiber was routed directly to 
the de-mux.

Ant 16 has the L302-1 re-installed and working.  It is the same module 
with the same firmware, but has a different DDS board (with heatsinks) 
installed.

Very busy day, still have not installed U/X converter in ant 18.

Ant 24 has a cold X-band receiver and two working IFs (A & C).  It has 
the lock removed and is ready for first fringes.
