[mmaimcal]Fwd: ATF De-scoped downconverter [wbrundag at aoc.nrao.edu]

That is my understanding also.  Owing to antenna lateness, something 
must go to stay on schedule.  We'll be doing interferometry with the 
pre-prototypes (various groups have various names for this equipment but 
  I think this name best describes it.
