Both these have now been done. Given the wind only the
change in El collimation looks significant; it was changed
by -0.8 arc-min. Focus was examined and a reasonable setting
is 3.5 cm. Both these changes have been made in the data base.
A long scan was started at 2233 IAT on #C84 with 14, 16 and 18.
Antenna 13 seems not to be available today. It ended at 2308.
A more careful comparison with other EVLA and VLa antennas
might be a good thing.
I have encouraged the operator to include antenna 13 (which is
on the master pad) in the baseline run scheduled for tonight.
