Due to the 22 antenna limit sending EVLA IF signals to the VLA
correlator an older EVLA antenna must be decommissioned in order to add
ea7 into the system. The hardware folks chose antenna 17 to
decommission. It requires a number of updates of which can be done in
the field without using many resources that would otherwise impact the
outfitting schedule.
Whether it be ea17 or some other antenna, the date of decommission will
be ~8/04/09. It's hopeful to turnover ea7 to Operations a few days
after. Those opposed to ea17 being decommissioned, please respond.
