[evlatests] 4-band fringing

A look at 4-band over lunch today shows:
a) No fringes from antenna 1, 8, 24, 25, 26 or 28.
b) Weak fringes from 2 and 14.
I looked only on the AC IFs, where autoleveling is working.
I find that Tsys/effic ~ 20,000K. Better than I expected, given
that this was on Cyg A, where the system temperature is perhaps 8000K
(so efficiency may actually be close to 0.33) . I'll need to look at
3C123 (off the galactic plane, and weak enough so it doesn't perturb
Tsys itself) to get a better measure of the actual efficiency.
