[evlatests] ea26 -- a tardy antenna

    The holography runs taken on Saturday and Sunday clearly show that 
ea26 is a 'tardy' antenna -- it takes much longer for this antenna (and 
only this one) to go from on-axis to the commanded position.  It's not 
clear if the antenna is merely slow, or if it is not responding to 
commands as quickly as it should.  The effect in the data is that, while 
the other 'moving' antennas provide 11 seconds of good calibration data, 
ea26 gives only three seconds.  This difference repeated on every 
calibration scan.
