[evlatests] Baseline labels are OK

Hi,

I was thinking along the same lines as the Ken/Michael test below -
they show that amplitudes are assigned to the correct baselines - I
was thinking of applying a different delay to each station and looking
at the baseline cross-power slopes to check if the phases on (some)
baselines were flipped. would work with rates as well. Michael -
is it worth trying?
