Will it be possible to have antenna naming to be different from a
digit, say 'ALMA1' or 'ACA1' etc...
This is just to remove the confusion that may arise when especially in
the AEDF ANTENNA subtable where antenna indexing is done by the row
number which is a digit.
So selection can be either by antenna index (as defined in the AEDF
row) or by name.
Cheers,
Kumar
