12Nov 18:35:35 Note: To support our ongoing RFI monitoring efforts, any feedback from your program on RFI can be sent to: nrao-rfi@nrao.edu The key information to provide is:

• Observation/project code
• Frequency and Time of the observations
• The characteristics of the RFI signal, in particular if it is continuous or intermittent?
• If possible, a spectrum of the RFI should be included in the e-mail. Thanks very much for your support; this information will be continuously updated on the EVLA science pages at: https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/vla/docs/manuals/obsguide/modes/rfi/

Pipeline issues noted by staff:

• ea05 gain amplitude solutions show a split about half way through the observation.

• ea14 gain amplitude solutions are low for a few scans.

• ea17 gain ampliutde solutions are very high for a few scans.

• ea26 gain amplitude solutions are low for some scans.

• The complex gain calibrator shows decorrelation, primarily from scan='2,33~50,54,59,63~69,73'.
