    Deep C-band polarimetry observations were made Sunday night.  
Detailed results (which are all very good) will be presented elsewhere. 
    In calibrating the data, a single oddity was noted.  Observations 
were made at 8 frequencies, from 4385 through 7885 MHz.  For all 
wideband antennas (2 3 9 15 21 24 28), at all frequencies and IFs, the 
sensitivities were as expected, *** with a single notable exception ***

    Antenna 2, in IF 'B', at 7885 MHz, had an effective Tsys nearly 
three times too high (125 K, rather than the expected 45).  The Tsys 
(switched power) table indicates nothing unusual.  

    I have no ready explanation for this oddity.
