Abstract
Observations with a phase-stable radio-link interferometer are described. Measurements of phase stability have been made at 2595 MHz with a baseline of 11.3 km. The phase behavior is worse in summer than in winter and this is attributed to changes in the atmospheric water content. Phase fluctuations are not large enough to affect seriously aperture-synthesis measurements.
