Jim,
Attached is a second iteration off hand plot using the 2100 fix from the first plot as the assumed position with the scale increased x3 (about 2mm per NM). This is a more accurate plot as well as a double check of sight reduction.

What is the algorithim you're using with your calculator, if I might ask?
