Ken's automated stress-tester is now working in final form. It was
run a few minutes ago, with the following results:
* All antennas, all bands working as well as I've ever seen.
* Antenna 16 is now working properly on all four IFs.
* VLA antenna 8, at Q-band, is still not fringing, and the data are
not flagged.
* There are significant sensitivity issues at two bands:
o At L-band, antenna 13 is poor in all four IFs. Antenna 21
is poor in IFs A and B.
o At K-band, antenna 19 is poor in all four IFs. Antennas 24
and 25 are marginal in all four IFs.
*** 'Poor' means sensitivity down by a factor of 2 or more.
Marginal means down by 1.5 or so. ***
In all, the data taking, and the quick quality review, took no more
than 30 minutes.
