On 1984 October 6 we conducted a 3-station intercontinental Mark II VLBI experiment in order to study the very luminous water vapor maser source in the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 3079, which was detected first by Haschick and Baan (1985) using the Haystack Observatory 36.6 m antenna. The cross correlation spectrum for the longest Owens Valley to MPI baseline is presented in Figure 1 and shows the phase variation across the width of the brightest feature at 955.7 km s−1 to be less than 10 degrees of phase.
