We have measured the opacity at the Owens Valley Millimeter Array with tip curves at frequencies from 95 to 248GHz. These measurements have been interpreted using a model and then scaled to a standard frequency of 100GHz. The unique aspect of this data is the wide range of frequencies covered and the use of receivers with different sideband gain ratios.
