[evlatests] Autocorrelation Spectra -- no tones?

I looked at the autocorrelation spectra which came with last
Thursday's wideband test. We have data for all four antennas and both
polarizations. The test spans 2048 MHz, centered at 6500 MHz.
I was surprised to see that the only strong non-RFI 'tone' visible
was in subband 10 for antenna 22R. Weaker 'tones' are seen on some
other antennas, but nothing like what we saw in the spectra taken 2
weeks ago...
Although all subbands show plausible autocorrelation spectra, some
are negative! The features within the spectrum are normal, the the
entire spectrum is depressed below zero -- an offset. These are
subband 2 on antenna 15R
subband 11 on antenna 15L
subbands 2 and 12 on antenna 22L
subband 2 on antenna 28L.
Also for reference: The three microwave link RFI bands are clearly
seen at:
5994 -- 6020 MHz
6242 -- 6272 MHz
6610 -- 6622 MHz
The last one is *by far* the strongest.
