A technique has been developed by which the data from the Mk3 correlator are read directly into the AIPS package. The data are Fourier transformed from delay lags into frequency channels and kept separately for each IF channel. The data are then corrected for multiand single band delays. We have used this technique to solve for fringe solutions on a reference source and then apply the solution to correct the data on the target source. In a recently analysed experiment we managed in this way to phase reference, using the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 18cm, the quasar OQ208 and the radio quasar 1422+202. These sources are separated by more than 9° on the sky.
