AO224 X-band standard continuum, 3.3s integrations, mostly fast switching
Very similar, but not identical, to the same observations on 8sep07.
* VLA ant. 6: all IFs show a sine wave in Tsys with a period of about 3 minutes,
continuous across source changes. Amplitude about 1 K out of 40 K.
Not seen on 8sep07.
* VLA ant. 15: IF C shows oscillating (eye pattern) amplitudes and
jumpy phases on the calibrator. Phases are constant on the (undetected!)
source. 8sep07 had much less dramatic variations.
* EVLA ant. 11 & 18: IFs AC show 50d phase jumps (in synch) within most
scans. Ant. 11 showed the same thing on 8sep07; ant. 18 was less severe
(only two such jumps) on 8sep07.
* EVLA ant. 13: data in first set of scans was fine this time (in contrast
to 8sep07 and 10sep07)
* EVLA ant. 14: another fast wrap (~360d in 1 min) on one scan, as
on 8sep07.
* VLA ant. 20: random phases on one calibrator scan, then returns
to the same phase as before
* EVLA ant. 23: no step in Tsys this time (vs. 8sep07 data).
