[evlatests] More interesting observations on the 'last two records' problem

A closer look at today's Qband data reveals another curious
characteristic:
By (happy?) accident, my attempt to observe at K-band failed, as I
mistakenly observed at Q-band instead. This had the effect of observing
Q-band twice in succession -- so I got two 1-minute scans, back-to-back.
In the filled database, there is no break between these two scans --
the records continue seemlessly. In the scan listing, there are
separate 1-minute scans shown.
So the obvious question is: Is the 'phase scatter' seen in the last
two records at the end of a scan seen in the middle of my continuous record?
Answer: Yes!
So the effect has nothing to do with changing band. It has
everything to do with the end of the scan.
