[evlatests] More on Xband

The X-band 'WIC' loop test, taken yesterday, appears to be as good
as the C-band, with the only caveat being the mislabelling of the
subbands, noted earlier.
All antennas connected to WIDAR are working in all polarizations.
The fraction of integer-zero records is the same (0.4%) as at C-band.
Delays (both in parallel and in cross hands) are of the
single-digit-nanosecond level.
The off-axis source images to the correct location.
Cross-hand amplitudes are nice and low -- about 3% (these are the
old, narrowband polarizers), with rather little frequency structure.
For both X and C bands, AIPS reports a mean 'closure' level of 0.02%
-- I'm not sure what this actually means, but it sure is low!
We should try some sterner tests now...
