We have finished for today.  The master LO modules and all
the antennas except ea07, ea15, and ea20 have been done.
ea15 is not yet available to us, and work was in progress
at ea07 and ea20.  We would like to reserve ea07 and ea20
to complete this work on Thursday morning.  ea15 will have
to be done before we attempt to use it, but after the hardware
work has settled down.
