        with METHOD = CLARK

        A Major-Minor cycles CLEAN method, originally developed by  B.Clark,  in
        which  clean components are selected using a limited beam patch, and de-
        convolved through Fourier transform at each major cycle. In mosaic  mode
        (See  command MOSAIC), a mosaic clean is performed. Rings and/or stripes
        may appear on extended sources.  Faster than the HOGBOM method for  sin-
        gle  fields  but  maybe  slower  for mosaics. The strategy to search for
        CLEAN components in CLARK method does not work properly  when  the  sec-
        ondary  side  lobes  are too large (e.g. larger than 0.3), or in case of
        high phase noise.
