Notes
All VLBA antennas are affected by the same problem (probably originating in the control software) during the whole session: for a significant portion of scans the recording starts several seconds or even few minutes late compared with the schedule. This results in effective reduction of observing time by a factor of 30-50%.
For some reason fourfit finds a fringe for every baseline including a KVN antenna. We are stiil looking how to avoid this problem. Meanwhile in the overview tables above the value of single-band delay is used to tell the difference between the considerably fewer real fringes and false positives.
