From Angelyn.W.Moore at jpl.nasa.gov Wed Jan 17 17:49:13 2007 From: Angelyn.W.Moore at jpl.nasa.gov (Angelyn W. Moore) Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 17:49:13 -0800 Subject: [IGSSTATION-1336]: Regarding station BAKO Message-ID: <45AED219.409@jpl.nasa.gov> ****************************************************************************** IGS Station Mail 17 Jan 17:49:14 PST 2007 Message Number 1336 ****************************************************************************** Author: Angelyn Moore Dear Colleagues, I have been notified from station BAKO that they installed a Leica AT504 GG antenna with LEIS radome on 1 January, and the antenna height changed to 1.648m. There is no calibration for this equipment in igs05.atx, and although the IGS Site Guidelines (http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/guidelines/guidelines.html) state (2.1.8) "To use an antenna+radome pair not found in either of these files, contact the CB. A calibration from an independent, recognized laboratory such as NGS (http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/ANTCAL) or Geo++ (http://www.geopp.com) will be required," the CB was not notified in advance of this equipment change. We understand that a calibration is forthcoming. In the meantime, since site logs may not contain uncalibrated equipment, the revised site log cannot be installed.
