Hi Peggy,

    Now that I am looking at the solutions for July 6, rather than July 
1, I agree that 11 and 25 are out.

IMPORTANT.

Something is wrong with the EVLA phase stability.  The VLA x VLA 
baselines for the calibrator over 2 hours looks fine, with changes less 
than 10 deg.  The VLA x EVLA and EVLA x EVLA baselines vary quite a bit, 
say >40 deg with a larger jumps.  You can even see that the phase 
changes between IF1 and IF2 on EVLA baselines by 30 deg, while less than 
2 deg for the VLAxVLA baselines.

Has there been any changes in the antenna locations for the EVLA 
antennas?  The July 1 EVLA data looks much better.

Will look again soon.

Ed
