Which 16 antenna locations were used this MeerKAT radio image? The final configuration of the MeerKAT radio array will be 64 dishes. In the press release of July 16, 2016 a radio image is shown using a completed sub-set of 16 dishes.

Which 16 are these? I can find documents on-line with coordinates for 64 location, (sometimes numbered 1 through 64, but not here), but I can't figure out which 16 are used to produce this image.

I found images of KAT-7 and MeerKAT in google maps - maybe someday we can get daily ground truth updates from Planet Labs, but for right now I'll stick to stackexchange.

Image from the press release:

Lorenzo Raynard, spokesperson for SKA Africa was gracious enough to send me the map with the sixteen sites below, and I've duplicated the dots on a larger format map.

It's been quite a while, probably the array has grown since this "first-light" image.

Next step (strictly for fun) will be to try to make a UV map for this configuration.
