== Minutes ==

 * manual: Jamie about to commit a 'Quick guide to CABB reduction' to the [http://www.narrabri.atnf.csiro.au/observing/users_guide/html/atug.html ATUG]
 * bugs: ticket:101. seems to be user error, ie using stokes=i with MFCAL is not a great idea and not really supported.

 Other discussion::

 * pgflag ready to release
 * flux density of 1934-638: the scale appears to be off at 12mm owing to changes in the brightness temp of Uranus, which vary as the orientation of the planet with respect to Earth changes. These changes are not modelled in [http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/miriad/doc/uvplanet.html uvplanet]
 * 7mm appears to have the signs of Q and U polarisations reversed. Jamie is working on this.[[BR]]
 There may have been a similar problem at 12mm that got fixed by a change to ATLOD:
{{{
c    rjs  16jul03 Do not flip sign of XY and YX correlations for 12mm
c                 package.
}}}
 * OS/X 'snow leopard' license kits and mac mini (hostname 'gala') have appeared.
