I noted in the previous message that it is difficult to find stable
antennas for the purposes of phase calibration.
I went through my data (there are two observation blocks -- very
consistent results), and deduced of eight (perhaps nine) antennas whose
R-L phases are stable -- hence appear to have reliable U-X switches.
They are:
3, 4, 6, 9, 19, 23, 26, and probably also 12.
All others show various degrees of instability on both runs.
Note: This list is valid for Ka and K bands. I didn't get Q band
data in these two recent runs. The list of stable antennas appears to
be different at Ku-band.
