Abstract
The X-band low-noise antenna (XLA) measurement feedcone was operated on the DSS 13 26-m antenna at Goldstone, California, during June 1975 to evaluate, primarily, the overall system efficiency. Radio sources were selected, commonly accepted values of flux density established, and measurements completed, and some conclusions are drawn. The antenna system presently suffers from poor pointing stability. On the other hand, the previously welded and rebolted main reflector has remained quite stable over a period of approximately 5 years.
