When the antenna is attached to the mount pole, I measured the uncorrected antenna height to be 40.0 inches. You'll want to check this at Andros. This may not mean anything to you yet, but it will be pretty clear when setting up the GPS. /-----------\ -------------------------A \-----------/ || || || || || || || || || ||B -------- The uncorrected antenna height for our type of antenna is the distance from the notches in the ground plane (A) to the central point of the mount (B). See the Applications Guide manual for more details. I'll add this to the web page at http://tyler.ssec.wisc.edu/~davet/home2/GPS/gps.html Other measurements to make at some point while down there. -- vertical and horizontal distance from GPS antenna to Campbell weather station sensors. -- ground level for AERIbago -- height above sea level. if possible. For getting a check on the GPS position. Any pictures would be good too. Dave Tobin Space Science and Engineering Center 608-265-6281 University of Wisconsin - Madison 608-262-5974 (FAX) 1225 W.
