PolitsiyaKAT sends misbehaving antennas to icy northern isolation.

This is a crude automated flagger that finds problems in calibrated data such as phase and amplitude drifts. It then flags affected baselines based on user supplied clipping criteria. Currently we apply this tool to automatic and semi-automatic reductions of MeerKAT and VLA data.

I hope it will be useful to the astronomy community to make this laborous task easier. Contributions are very welcome.
