The installation of the MJPs and VLITE was accomplished properly.

Dan and crew connected the new MJPs to the low band receiver correctly 
for the proper polarization.

Jerry Langevin did all the internal cabling correctly to preserve proper 
polarization.

The only point of confusion is the VLITE module low-band inputs are 
labeled Ch.1 and Ch.2 rather than any polarization reference.  It was 
simply a guess as to what polarization should go to Ch.1 and Ch.2.  Our 
guess was wrong.  It seems we now know that Ch.1 is LCP.
