[evlatests] [widar-wg] ea14 and 17 at P-band

[Bryan Butler]

please don't take the AIPS polarization labels as definitive.  since 
your scripts were produced with the production OPT, currently X and Y 
are almost certainly swapped.  we're working hard to sort this out, but 
until we do, do not take these as definitive.
