Hi everyone,
Today Vivek ran for me a quick test observation again on 3C147 to check
out P band after last Thursday's low band brigade report.
1) I am happy to confirm that ea08Y looks good now, as previously noted
by Vivek.
2) After the ea01 realignment, cross-polarizations are back to where
they should be for baselines with this antenna.
3) Previously unreported was that ea28X does not work very well, showing
larger than 1 dB bandpass ripples. All other band passes look good. This
could be a cable issue.
4) Very large cross-polarizations are still seen on some antennas, as
previously reported by Rick.
The worst from this observation are: ea06, ea27, ea17, ea15
The best from this observation are: ea01, ea07, ea11, ea14, ea18,
ea22, ea24
It would be great to look into the worst misaligned dipoles, of which
none have the new style P-band dipole mounting jam nut and to identify
the reason for the strong bandpass ripples on ea28X.
