This is just a quick report on AL703 from last night.
Q-band, 3-second integrations, fast-switching.
1) The phase stability is terrible and the data are probably not useful,
but that's due to the weather.
2) There are no Q-band fringes on antenna 7. Noted in the log, but no
explanation given.
3) Fringes on antenna 6 are very weak, all IFs. The log notes something
about a dead calibration signal for IFs A and B, but I see the problem on
all IFs. Pointing? I asked for (and was sent) the pointing solutions
from VLA Ops but the file format has changed from the old style and I
can't figure out what all the columns are.
4) There was a note in the log that some antennas did not set up properly,
and the script had to be restarted. Any idea why this was?
