Comments on Difmap processing
J0217+73 matches in flux to prelaunch.

J0607+67 is best fit with two point sources. 5 minute selfcal. Gaussain (+point) is also possible, but the cleaned image and the model image match best (i.e. the two point sources). However the component positions for PLS and pt+Gaussian are the same.
