I was just looking at this.  The only usable results are for
13, 14 and 16 which have not moved.  I believe that it is
18 which moved; there are no solutions at all for 18 or 24.
I suppose from Barry's reports that not all the the EVLA antennas
are up to snuff yet.

It looks like antenna 27 has a large A7 (az encoder offset)
error of about +4.4 arc-min.  It is about 6.0 and wants to be
more like 10.4.  I have not changed the POINTING file, but making
that change should help for the next pointing run.
