[evlatests] Spectral indices and bandpass calibration...

All-

Please see the Flux Density Calibrator Model JIRA ticket for some
interesting results concerning bandpass calibrator spectral
index effects for EVLA bandwidths (from the polarization dataset
I've been reporting on separately):

https://bugs.aoc.nrao.edu/browse/ECSV-43

Amy's draft plan for determining requirements for and generating a 
sufficient set of f.d. model images for the EVLA is also to be found 
there.  Scroll down for my comments about spec index effects; the figures 
I refer to are listed near the top of the page (alas in alphabetized
order which is opposite to how I refer to them!).

My comment is relevant to general observing/calibration methodology, and 
I've added a comment to the relevant LSC methodology ticket (ECSV-42). 
There is no such ticket for high frequencies yet.
