Testing lbw_gain and balancing

Goals

• Repeat lbw_gain and balancing tests that got screwed up by VEGAS faults

Details

• Start at 8:00am - configure for KFPA. Boom may be extended at some point
• 8:15am - configure VEGAS for Mode 6, KFPA, -20dBm
• Not every bank has balanced properly; use Bank F, pol B looks good

Mode 6, -17dB input level (as high as I can go), Bank F Mechanics start messing with PF boom... Need to watch out for this.

Switch to mode 20, an L8 mode. Bank A, pol 2 (red) looks good.
