    Following will be the PDif compressions noted from going onto the 
Crab, defined as:

    PDif(Crab)/PDif(cold sky) * 100

    Acccuracy is the determination is about 1%. 

    Here is L-band.  Crab (Taurus A, 3C144) adds about 70K to the system 
temperature.

    Notes:

    1) ea19's SY data on all four IFs are very poor -- the scatter in 
the switched power numbers is larger than the mean value (typically, it 
is about 1 to 2% of the mean value). 
    2) ea28, on LCP is not providing good SY  data.  This has always 
been the case.
