[evlatests] P-band Dipole Removal?

[Rick Perley]

    I was on antenna 24 today, conducting a tour for some of the 
participants in the recent workshop.  While there, I noticed that the 
P-band dipole on that antenna is mis-oriented -- it is supposed to line 
up with the quadrupod legs, but in fact it is at a 45 degree angle. 

    Given that we've essentially shut down the P-band system, I wonder 
if it would be possible to simply remove the P-band dipoles from antenna 
24, as this is the 'official testing antenna', and it would be useful to 
have any non-essential (and 'non-native') equipment absent.  Even 
better, it would be very useful to do a series of sensitivity tests with 
the dipole on (and aligned properly), then off, to see what the effect 
of the dipole has on system performance.
