The changes made by Jim to antenna 21 seem to have brought it to
life on the AC sides. There is a periodic 1.67 second pulse in the
amplitudes on both A and C sides-- smells like something to do with
Walsh switching? This shouldn't affect pointing, since that is done in
10-second averages. Phases were find. So, if the winds cooperate, we
should get good pointing tonight.
I quickly checked other significant problems (P, L, C, and X bands
only).
Antenna 24C still has the multiple-levels at all bands.
Antenna 14C still has the 150 degree oscillation in phase, at P and
L bands. This was not seen at C band today.
Antenna 13 was dead for my first L-band observation, but was there
for the 2nd. LO problem?
Antenna 26 gave no fringes at C-band, despite there being a receiver
there (or so the list claims).
The usual occasional short dropouts in amplitude were seen.
All else worked as advertised.
