    From a quick test of the array this morning, I find the following 
sensitivity issues.  In all cases, `weak' means the SNR in power units, 
is low by the factor listed,

    P-Band:

    No fringes from antennas 1, 4, or 5.
    Antenna 3, IFs C and D weak by a factor of 4
    Antenna 15, IFs C and D weak by a factor of 10
    Antennas 26, IF D weak by a factor of 4. 

    L-Band:

    Antenna 5 weak by a factor > 10 on all IFs.
    Antenna 4 was flagged out.
    Antenna 3 weak by a factor of 2 on IF 'D'.

    C-Band:

    Antennas 3 and 15 weak by a factor of 2 on IF D only.
    Antenna 4 weak by a factor of 4 on all IFs.
    Antenna 5 weak by a factor of 8 on IFs B and D.

    X-Band:

    Antennas 3 and 15 weak by a factor of 2 on IF D.
    Antenna 4 weak by a factor of 5 on all IFs.
    Antenna 5 weak by a factor of 8 on IFs B and D.

    K-Band:

    Antenna 1 weak by a factor of 7 on all IFs.
    Antenna 5 weak by a very large factor (> 10) on all IFs.
    Antenna 3 was flagged on IFs A and C. 

    Q-Band:

    Antenna 3 and 5 were both flagged on all IFs.
