Friday afternoon a 1hr test was done, cycling over L,C,X,K bands
many times in continuum mode. The data are near perfect on all
antennas with a few exceptions. The off-source but unflagged
data (seen the previous day) have disappeared.

VA28 was flagged throughout, and deserved to be since it had
no fringes. However, the cause was not identified in the log,
and I have not investigated yet.

EA25 had low amplitudes (~10% single dish) at K band for 10min
and was then flagged. EA13 ~50% amplitude at K band. I did not
do any reference pointing, so that may be the reason.

Phases at all bands/antennas/IFs were stable, even for the
ones with low amplitude.
