IGEX-98: Receiver and Antenna Names, Log Files, RINEX File Headers
------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear site operators and colleagues,

a survey of the IGEX98 RINEX files held at CDDIS and of the log files currently
available shows a large variety of names for receivers and antennas,
and discrepancies between the antenna heights stored in the RINEX files and the
ones stored in the log files.

A considerable number of log files are still missing.

The IGEX98 web site (http://lareg.ensg.ign.fr/IGEX) contains a table of
predefined names of GPS/GLONASS receivers.

(For GPS-only receivers there is a table at the IGS information system:
 ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab or
 ftp://igs.ensg.ign.fr/pub/igscb/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab )

Please try to match your receiver and antenna type with one of the names in
the tables. If you don't find it, contact Werner.

For those processing the data it is tremendously important that the information
in the RINEX file headers and in the log files is consistent and correct.

Please check your RINEX converter programs that they introduce the correct
names and numbers into the files or prepare a small filter program to modify
the values.

Those sites that are submitting data without existing log files are strongly
encouraged to prepare the log file and send it to IGN, as requested in the
IGEX-98 guidelines on the web.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Carey Noll and Werner Gurtner
