[evlatests] L-Band RFI -- again

A continuum L-band observation was taken near noon. The first
observation, at 11:53 through 11:58 MST, was completely wiped out -- all
the hallmarks of RFI. By far the worst offenders are clustered at the
center of the array -- antennas 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 24. The second
observation was taken at 12:37 through 12:42 -- these data are just
fine. A check done a few minutes ago (2PM), show all is fine.
I note that the time of wipeout was just before lunchtime, and was
at the same local time as yesterday's spectral line observation which
was wiped out by an *enormous* emission centered at 1484 MHz. Might we
have some microwave oven gone wild? Or perhaps some piece of equipment,
used intermittently?
