[evlatests] Even more good news

I checked the bandpass stability, using the x-band observations
taken this morning.
Forming a BPASS solution every 5 minutes, using a 50-channel
smoothing (6.25 MHz) and looking at the differentials, both the
amplitude and phase residuals appear random (other than residual delay
slopes, most notable on antenna 1), with amplitude excursions of 0.1%
and phase fluctuations of typically 0.1 degrees. There are no visible
'edge' effects.
To do better, we'll have to stare at a much stronger object, over a
longer time. 3C84, or 3C273 would do. For this experiment, closure is
not an issue.
