We present results of a multi-frequency synthesis VLBI experiment which employed observations at 1622 and 1707 MHz. Combining data from two frequencies gave a factor ∼2 improvement in dynamic range over the single frequency images. We estimate map fidelity by comparing the images made separately from each frequency; while the dynamic range is ∼1800, the fidelity index is only ∼5.
