Rick and others,
Attached is a photo of the X and C band receivers in Ant. 6 taken TODAY. 
  It shows that both receivers are the wideband EVLA style.

The photo also shows both receivers after they were rotated 90 degrees 
today by the FE lab for the special polarization test.  X-band was 
rotated 90 deg. CCW and C band 90 deg. CW.  L and S band receivers were 
also rotated 90 deg. CW.  (Photos available upon request).

Photo verifies wideband X-band receiver, and yes, we really did rotate 
the receivers as requested.

The photo was taken Wednesday, Mar. 9 at 2:48 pm.  Sorry I don't have a 
photo any more recent :-)
