Correct the jumps - but no solutions from this time in the end. Flagged in the flag table. FLAGV -1 fixed this. Also explored 8:15 or 8:20 being better

Comments on Difmap processing
J0204+15: Ud very low w.r.t. PLS model. J0423-01: Kl low and looks to need ~ 3 to be brought in line to the PLS.

J0231+13: Kl has a nasty oscillation in amplitude (deleted). Ud very low (deleted). The modelfitting has a component in the correct direction, but the cleaned image is less clear -- it is clearly an extended feature in the general area.
