VLA Test/Observation Coordination Meeting

1.  eVLA

Work is directed toward first fringes in about a month.  First fringe
setups will be fairly primitive; only absolutely essential pieces of
hardware and software will be available.

P. Napier notes that the large feed for L band has been manufactured,
and is being sent off to a test range in California to be measured.
It will be installed in antenna 13 in April.

2.  Holography

C. Carilli says measurements are complete for antenna 9, and it is
ready to have its surface adjusted.  This is the last of the antennas
to have a Q band receiver installed.  When its surface has been 
adjusted, the program is complete for the array for the moment, but
will likely need to be repeated after the eVLA upgrades, because the
feeds will move a bit.

The lingering optics problems for antenna 1 appear to have been solved,
and it now behaves like the rest of the pack.

3.  Water Vapor Radiometers

C. Chandler wants to put the new WVRs on EVLA antennas, as their broader 
bandwidth receivers open better options for the placement of the channels.

4.  VLA correlator controller

The spectral line system for the new controller for the VLA correlator
is sufficiently near complete that it is ready for astronomical testing.
