    And finally, results from continuum C and X band observations. 

    Same setup as described for L-band (continuum, 0.4 second averaging). 

    Results:

    EVLA antennas stable in amplitude and phase on all IFs.

    8% amplitude excess in EVLA-EVLA baselines when calibrated against
VLA antennas. 

    X-band sensitivity, based on noise distribution in Real and Imaginary
parts (and after accounting for calibration offsets):  EVLA about same
as VLA antennas.  C-band sensitivity at least 20% better on EVLA
baselines compared to 3 randomly selected VLA antennas. 

    All looks good at L, C, and X bands.
