I think it would be worth doing only if, before the experiment starts,
Yebes can make some hardware change that might improve the phase cal
performance, such as thermally isolate the distributor or drive the
phase cal directly from the maser buffer.  Otherwise the setup would
be the same as in Europe51 earlier this month.

Note that Yebes is already scheduled to observe in next week's CB505
session.
