TROM station was etablished in 1990. Due to the lack of geologic knowlegde, a new GPS monument TRO1 was etablished in 1997, and TROM was never ment to last. We had to do something about the old TurboRogue in TROM, both the receiver itself and the systems logging data had become very unstable. The outdoor inspection yesterday also confirmed that the concret pillar of TROM is not satisfying. So the decision is to keep only the TRO1 station in Tromsoe. TRO1 was upgraded yesterday, with a new Trimble NetR8 receiver. Regards Ingunn Skei Geodetic Institute Infrastructure Section Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority 3507 Honefoss, Norway
