Ladies and Gentlemen,

Because of the expansion and of construction works in the Chilenean Antarctic Base we had to move the antenna for the GPS Permanent Tracking Station OHIG to another new pillar # K6 in our O'Higgins Observatory / Antarctica.

The four character ID for the new antenna-site is OHI2.

For collocation we observed from 14-FEB-2002 18:30 UT until 20-FEB-2002 02:00 UT with two AOA SNR-8000 ACT at OHIG and OHI2, and also with the Ashtech Z-18 OHIZ.

14-FEB-2002 18:30 UT OHI2 installed.
16-FEB-2002 18:30 UT DOME removed in OHIG.
19-FEB-2002 20:00 UT DOME installed in OHI2.
20-FEB-2002 02:00 UT OHIG removed.


Kindly see also the "Update of the OHIG Site Information Form".
The new Site Information Form for OHI2 will follow as soon as we get the new DOMES number.
With best regards Rudi Stoeger
