Note: To support our ongoing RFI monitoring efforts, any feedback from your
program on RFI can be sent to: [email protected]
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:

Issues noted but not flagged by staff:

  • Low points in CGC’s uvwave plot are from baselines w/ea15 in spw=10.
  • Many antennas are experiencing phase splits seen in final phase gain.
